The fixture pits two clubs that have met recently – the last encounter on 27 September ended in a 1‑1 stalemate – and both arrive with modest recent results, making the scoring battle the focal point.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid
Both teams to score - Yes Solid lean Solid · Balanced scoring

Both sides have an xG of 1.35 and the model rates the BTTS chance at 54.9%, making a shared goal the most probable outcome.

Show the maths
The model assigns each team an expected‑goals value of 1.35, meaning on average each side should score more than one goal. When two teams have equal xG, the probability that both exceed zero rises, which the model quantifies as a 54.9% BTTS chance. This probability exceeds the 50% threshold, confirming the pick’s statistical backing. The recent 1‑1 draw further validates the expectation that both squads are likely to score again.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 54.9% model probability

With Tavernes averaging 1.35 expected goals and Maracena 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 (Tavernes 1.35, Maracena 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 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Tavernes 1.35 + Maracena 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 (Tavernes 1.35 + Maracena 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 Tavernes at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Maracena 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.
