Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

The FA Cup tie pits Uxbridge against a Haywards Heath Town side that has shown a roller‑coaster of results in its last five league games. With both clubs averaging identical expected goals, the contest is set to be decided by fine margins rather than fire‑power.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Under 2.5 goals Lost Solid lean Solid · Balanced xG

The model gives a 49.4% probability for under 2.5 goals, reflecting the balanced expected‑goal output and recent low‑scoring form of Haywards Heath Town.

Show the maths

Both teams have an expected‑goals rating of 1.35, meaning the model predicts roughly 2.7 goals in total. The over/under split is 50.6% for over and 49.4% for under, indicating a near‑even line but a slight tilt toward the under. Because the expected total is just above the 2.5 threshold, the model assigns a marginally higher probability to the over, leaving the under as the more conservative pick with a solid chance.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Uxbridge averaging 1.35 expected goals and Haywards Heath Town 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 (Uxbridge 1.35, Haywards Heath Town 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 (Uxbridge 1.35 + Haywards Heath Town 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 (Uxbridge 1.35 + Haywards Heath Town 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 Uxbridge at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Haywards Heath Town 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.
