Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score - Yes Won Solid lean Solid · BTTS edge

The model assigns a 54.9 % chance to both sides scoring, outpacing the 45.1 % chance of a clean sheet, making BTTS the most compelling selection.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected goal value of 1.35, meaning the model expects each side to create roughly one solid chance per match. When two teams with identical xG meet, the probability of both scoring typically exceeds 50 %, which the model quantifies at 54.9 %. This BTTS probability directly stems from the equal xG figures and the historical prevalence of both‑sides‑to‑score outcomes in similar matchups.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Maracena averaging 1.35 expected goals and Tavernes averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Maracena 1.35, Tavernes 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Maracena 1.35 + Tavernes 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Maracena 1.35 + Tavernes 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Maracena at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Tavernes at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
