Noja vs Ribadesella CF: Under 2.5 goals
Noja and Ribadesella CF each sit on an xG of 1.35, and the model assigns them identical win odds of 37.1 % – a rare symmetry that points to a low‑scoring encounter.
Both sides enter this cup match on opposite recent runs – Noja have just recorded a loss, while Ribadesella CF have bounced back with a win – but the numbers suggest neither attack will dominate.
Robbo's Verdict
The model’s 49.4 % probability for under 2.5 goals, combined with low xG and tight recent scorelines, makes a low‑scoring result the most plausible outcome.
Show the maths
With Noja averaging 1.35 expected goals and Ribadesella CF 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
Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Noja 1.35 + Ribadesella CF 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
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Noja at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Ribadesella CF at 37.1% to win.
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.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.

Noja
Noja’s last five league games end with a loss, highlighted by a 0‑1 defeat away at Ribadesella CF. That recent failure to find the net underlines their zero home goals‑for average, suggesting they are unlikely to breach the 2.5‑goal threshold here.
Ribadesella CF
Ribadesella CF’s most recent five games include a 1‑0 home win over Noja, and the side has also kept a clean sheet in that fixture. Their zero away goals‑against average further signals a defensive approach that supports a low‑scoring match.
Head-to-Head
The only recent head‑to‑head meeting on 26 Sept 2026 ended 1‑0 to Ribadesella CF, a result that aligns with the under‑2.5 expectation.
