Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Lost

50.6% model probability

Both teams arrive with contrasting recent runs – OFI have bounced back with a win in their last five, while Volos have failed to secure a point in five straight league outings. The clash pits OFI’s home advantage against a Volos side desperate to end a winless spell.

Lars's Verdict

Lean

Draw Lost Slight lean Lean · Balanced odds

The model rates a draw at 25.8%, the highest probability among the three result options, reflecting the balance in expected goals and recent form.

Show the maths

Both clubs sit on an identical xG of 1.35, meaning the model expects each to create the same number of scoring chances. The win probabilities are split evenly at 37.1% for OFI and 37.1% for Volos, leaving the draw as the residual outcome. That residual probability is 25.8%, the largest single‑outcome chance once the win odds are accounted for, so the model flags the draw as the most likely specific result.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With OFI averaging 1.35 expected goals and Volos NFC 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 (OFI 1.35, Volos NFC 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 (OFI 1.35 + Volos NFC 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 (OFI 1.35 + Volos NFC 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 OFI at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Volos NFC 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

OFI

WLLLW

OFI’s five‑match run reads W‑L‑L‑L‑W, featuring a 2‑0 home win over Levadiakos and a 3‑1 victory against Volos NFC. Those two wins demonstrate that OFI can find the net and keep clean sheets, which supports the view that they are unlikely to dominate the game outright, reinforcing the draw probability.

Volos NFC

LLLLL

Volos’ five‑match slide of L‑L‑L‑L‑L includes a 0‑3 home defeat to Levadiakos and a 1‑3 away loss to OFI, underscoring their inability to secure points or keep games tight. This run of defeats points to a propensity for conceding, but also a lack of scoring punch, aligning with a low‑scoring stalemate.

Head-to-Head

Recent meetings have been tight: a 1‑1 draw on 2026‑04‑05 and another on 2026‑03‑08, plus a 3‑1 OFI win in May 2026. The frequency of draws and close scorelines backs the model’s draw forecast.
