Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Both clubs have been prolific in the league – Mulbarton with three wins in their last five and Cornard United unbeaten in their first two – and the FA Cup clash pits two evenly matched attacking units against each other.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score – Yes Lost Solid lean Solid · High BTTS rate

The model’s 54.9% BTTS probability, combined with recent high‑scoring outings and defensive frailties, makes a double‑strike outcome the most likely scenario.

Show the maths

Our model starts from each side’s expected goals of 1.35, translating to a baseline chance of both teams scoring. Adding the recent form – Mulbarton scoring in three of five and conceding in two, Cornard scoring in three of five and conceding in three – lifts the BTTS probability to 54.9%. The near‑even match‑result split (37.1% each) reinforces that the game is likely to be open, not a shut‑out, which is why the BTTS market is our clearest edge.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Mulbarton Wanderers averaging 1.35 expected goals and Cornard United 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 (Mulbarton Wanderers 1.35, Cornard United 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 Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Mulbarton Wanderers 1.35 + Cornard United 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 (Mulbarton Wanderers 1.35 + Cornard United 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 Mulbarton Wanderers at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Cornard United 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.

Form Guide — Last 5

Mulbarton Wanderers

WWWDL

Mulbarton’s last five league results include a 3‑1 home win over Dereham Town and a 0‑0 draw with Witham Town. They have scored in three of those matches (3‑1, 2‑0, 3‑2) but also been held without a goal in the draw, indicating they can both create and be denied – a factor that supports a BTTS outcome.

Cornard United

WWLDL

Cornard United’s recent run features a 3‑0 home win versus Fakenham Town and a 5‑1 away victory at Stowmarket Town, showing a strong goal‑scoring habit. However, they also suffered a 0‑5 defeat at Bishop's Stortford and a 2‑4 loss away to Woodbridge Town, demonstrating defensive lapses that increase the likelihood of both sides scoring.
