BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Both clubs enter this cup tie having struggled to find the net in league play – Sileby’s last five matches feature three defeats, a draw and a solitary win, while the Nomads’ recent form is unavailable but their away scoring average sits at zero. The fixture therefore offers little offensive firepower to ignite a goal‑fest.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Under 2.5 goals Lost Solid lean Solid · Low‑scoring trend

The match is expected to produce fewer than three goals, as both teams’ zero goals‑for averages and identical 1.35 xG suggest limited finishing chances.

Show the maths

Both sides have an expected goal value of 1.35, which together equals 2.7 – just above the 2.5 mark. However, the actual season averages for goals scored are zero for each team, meaning the xG is unlikely to be fully realised. The model therefore assigns a 49.4% chance to the under, slightly below the over, and the scoring record tilts the probability toward a sub‑2.5 result.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Sileby Rangers averaging 1.35 expected goals and Anstey Nomads 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 (Sileby Rangers 1.35, Anstey Nomads 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 (Sileby Rangers 1.35 + Anstey Nomads 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 (Sileby Rangers 1.35 + Anstey Nomads 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 Sileby Rangers at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Anstey Nomads 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

Sileby Rangers

LDLWL

Sileby’s recent league run reads L‑D‑L‑W‑L, with a 0‑3 loss to Leighton Town at home, a 1‑1 draw with Boston United at home and a 0‑2 home defeat to Corby Town. The three defeats and zero goals scored at home underline a defensive frailty that supports a low‑goal outcome for this pick.

Anstey Nomads

Anstey Nomads’ recent form is not provided, but their away goals‑for average is zero, indicating they have not found the net on the road this season. That lack of away scoring backs the expectation of few goals in this fixture.

Team News (Pregame)

No notable injury concerns were on record for either side heading into this match.
