Both Teams to Score

BTTS — No Won

83.4% model probability

Both clubs enter the match on opposite trajectories – Mariehamn have turned their form around with two wins in five, while FF Jaro have slipped to a single win from their last five outings.

Lars's Verdict

Solid

Match to end in a draw Lost Slight lean Solid · High draw probability

The model’s 43.3% draw probability, combined with low expected goals and defensive records, makes a draw the most credible result.

Show the maths

Mariehamn’s xG of 0.7 and Jaro’s 0.4 give an overall goal expectancy of 1.1 for the match. The model translates that low combined xG into a 90% chance of under 2.5 goals, which heavily compresses the win margins. The draw probability of 43.3% emerges as the largest single outcome after accounting for the teams’ defensive solidity – Mariehamn concede 1.7 per game at home and Jaro concede 2.6 away, suggesting both sides are more likely to share points than to break the deadlock.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 83.4% model probability

With Mariehamn averaging 0.7 expected goals and FF Jaro averaging 0.4, the model gives a 83.4% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 16.6% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Mariehamn 0.7, FF Jaro 0.4) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 16.6% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 83.4% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Won 90.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 1.1 (Mariehamn 0.7 + FF Jaro 0.4) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 90.0% chance against 10.0% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Mariehamn 0.7 + FF Jaro 0.4 = 1.1 combined): 10.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 90.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Mariehamn at 38.1%, the draw at 43.3%, and FF Jaro at 18.6% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 33.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Mariehamn

DLLWW

Mariehamn’s recent run of DLLWW includes a 2-0 home win over SJK and a 4-2 away victory at KuPS. Those two wins follow a three‑game winless spell, indicating a resurgence in attack that still aligns with their modest 0.7 xG, reinforcing the likelihood of a low‑scoring draw.

FF Jaro

WLLLL

FF Jaro have managed only a single win – 2-1 at home versus SJK – amid four consecutive defeats, including a 0-3 loss at HJK Helsinki and a 0-1 home loss to AC Oulu. Their inability to score beyond that lone win underscores the low scoring expectation and supports a draw scenario.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, the results have been tight: a 1-1 draw in 2025, a 2-3 win for Mariehamn in 2025, and a 3-0 win for Jaro in 2026, with the most common scoreline being 0-0 (33.3%). This head‑to‑head pattern leans toward low scores and backs the draw pick.
