The FA Cup tie pits two non-league sides with no recent league form data available, making the statistical model the primary guide for this preview.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Under 2.5 goals Won Solid lean Lean · Low scoring

The model predicts a 49.4% chance of the match staying under 2.5 goals, reflecting the low expected‑goal output from both sides.

Show the maths

Both teams have an expected 1.35 goals, which combined equals 2.70 – just above the 2.5 threshold. However, the model’s over probability is only 50.6%, leaving a near‑even split. Because the over/under line is so close, the slight under‑side probability (49.4%) still represents the more conservative outcome, especially given the lack of any high‑scoring recent form to push the total beyond 2.5.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Three Bridges averaging 1.35 expected goals and Kingstonian 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 (Three Bridges 1.35, Kingstonian 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 Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Three Bridges 1.35 + Kingstonian 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 (Three Bridges 1.35 + Kingstonian 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 Three Bridges at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Kingstonian 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.
