54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Sittingbourne host Greenwich Borough in the first round, a matchup where neither side has a home or away goal average to lean on – both clubs have recorded zero goals per game at home and away respectively this season.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Over 2.5 goals Won Solid lean Solid · Slight edge

The combined expected‑goals of 2.70 pushes the probability over 50%, making an over‑2.5 result the most likely outcome.

Show the maths

Each side’s expected‑goals of 1.35 add up to 2.70 for the match. The model converts that total xG into a probability distribution, giving 50.6% for the over‑2.5 market and 49.4% for under. Because the over probability is the highest of any market offered, the model rates an over‑2.5 result as the most probable outcome.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Sittingbourne averaging 1.35 expected goals and Greenwich Borough 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 (Sittingbourne 1.35, Greenwich Borough 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 (Sittingbourne 1.35 + Greenwich Borough 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 (Sittingbourne 1.35 + Greenwich Borough 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 Sittingbourne at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Greenwich Borough 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.
