Both clubs have been busy in their domestic leagues, but Marine’s single recent league win – a 3‑2 home victory over Radcliffe – gives them momentum heading into the cup. Warrington Town’s mixed recent form includes a 2‑2 draw away at Shildon AFC and a 4‑0 home win over the same side.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Marine to win Strong lean Strong · Home edge

The model’s 58.1% win probability, backed by Marine’s superior expected goals and recent home victory, makes a Marine win the most likely outcome.

Show the maths
Marine’s expected goals sit at 3.0 compared with Warrington Town’s 2.0, giving Marine a full‑goal advantage in the model’s scoring forecast. That advantage translates into a 58.1% probability of a Marine win, while the draw sits at 16.8% and the away win at 24.7%. Because the win probability is markedly higher than both the draw and the opponent’s win chances, the model flags Marine to win as the strongest single‑market pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 81.8% model probability

With Marine averaging 3.0 expected goals and Warrington Town averaging 2.0, the model gives a 81.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 18.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Marine 3.0, Warrington Town 2.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 81.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 18.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 87.1% model probability

Combined expected goals of 5.0 (Marine 3.0 + Warrington Town 2.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 87.1% chance against 12.9% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Marine 3.0 + Warrington Town 2.0 = 5.0 combined): 87.1% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 12.9% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Marine at 58.1%, the draw at 16.8%, and Warrington Town at 24.7% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-1 at 6.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Marine

W

Marine’s latest league result was a 3‑2 home win over Radcliffe, showing they can both score and concede three goals in a match. That single win lifts their recent form rating to a win, reinforcing the model’s confidence in their ability to find the net against Warrington Town.

Warrington Town

DWW

Warrington Town drew 2‑2 away at Shildon AFC before blasting them 4‑0 at home, indicating a capacity to score but also a vulnerability to concede. Their overall recent form of DWW reflects inconsistency, which undercuts their chances against a higher‑scoring Marine side.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings Marine have won three, including a 2‑1 victory on 28 July 2026 and a 1‑0 win on 18 April 2025. This head‑to‑head dominance supports the expectation of a Marine win.
