The FA Cup tie pits two non‑league sides that have been alternating results in their recent league runs. Both clubs have shown the ability to score but also to concede, making the defensive aspect the key to unlocking this fixture.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Both teams to score - No Lost Solid lean Lean · Defensive focus

The model assigns a 45.1% probability to both sides not scoring, outpacing the opposite outcome, making the No‑BTTS market the most logical choice.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected‑goals value of 1.35, implying equal chance to score. However, the model translates this balance into a BTTS‑No probability of 45.1% versus a BTTS‑Yes of 54.9%. The slight edge for BTTS‑No, combined with recent matches where each side kept a clean sheet (Calleva's 0‑2 loss and Ford's 2‑0 win away), nudges the overall likelihood toward at least one side failing to score.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Tadley Calleva averaging 1.35 expected goals and Laverstock & Ford 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 (Tadley Calleva 1.35, Laverstock & Ford 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 (Tadley Calleva 1.35 + Laverstock & Ford 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 (Tadley Calleva 1.35 + Laverstock & Ford 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 Tadley Calleva at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Laverstock & Ford 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

Tadley Calleva

LWWWL

Calleva’s recent form includes a 4‑1 home win over Millbrook FC and a 3‑0 away victory at Christchurch, showing they can dominate opponents, but they also suffered a 0‑2 away loss to Bracknell Town, highlighting defensive frailties. These mixed results suggest they have the firepower to score but are equally prone to being shut out, supporting a BTTS‑No outlook.

Laverstock & Ford

DWWWL

Laverstock & Ford have recorded a 2‑0 away win at Horndean and a 2‑1 away win over Hythe & Dibden, proving they can keep clean sheets, yet a 1‑4 away defeat to Salisbury shows they can also be vulnerable. This blend of solid defensive displays and occasional lapses backs the expectation that one side may keep a clean sheet.
