Robbo's Verdict

Lean
Stockton Town to win Lost Slight lean Lean · Equal odds

The model rates Stockton Town’s chance of victory at 37.1 %, matching Guiseley’s but marginally above the draw probability, making a home win the most straightforward selection.

Show the maths
The model assigns both teams an expected goal value of 1.35, which produces identical win probabilities of 37.1 % for each side. The draw probability is lower at 25.8 %, meaning a result is more likely than a stalemate. Among the top scorelines, a 1‑0 win for either side accounts for 9.1 % each, supporting the view that a narrow victory is plausible. Selecting Stockton Town leverages the home advantage implicit in the venue, albeit the edge is slim.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Stockton Town averaging 1.35 expected goals and Guiseley AFC 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 (Stockton Town 1.35, Guiseley AFC 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

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Stockton Town 1.35 + Guiseley AFC 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
