Robbo's Verdict

Lean

No clear edge – model evenly split Void Lean · No clear edge

The model’s win probabilities are identical for both clubs (37.1% each) and the draw sits only at 25.8%, offering no compelling one‑sided market.

Show the maths

The model’s expected‑goals figures for Redcar Town and Blyth Spartans are both 1.35, producing identical win chances of 37.1% each. The draw probability of 25.8% is lower than either side’s win odds, but the gap between the two win percentages is zero, leaving no statistical justification for favouring either side. Consequently, the model’s probability distribution shows an even split, meaning no single market stands out as a clear favorite.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Redcar Town averaging 1.35 expected goals and Blyth Spartans 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 (Redcar Town 1.35, Blyth Spartans 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 (Redcar Town 1.35 + Blyth Spartans 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 (Redcar Town 1.35 + Blyth Spartans 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 Redcar Town at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Blyth Spartans 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.
