Robbo's Take

Headline Pick

Venezia to win Won

Solid · Home edge

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Won

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Both sides have shown similar offensive output this season, and the cup tie offers a rare chance to break the parity that has defined their league performances.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Venezia to win Won Slight lean Solid · Home edge

The model’s 37.1% win probability for Venezia, equal to Modena’s but higher than the draw odds, points to a narrow but clear edge for the home side.

Show the maths

Both teams sit at 1.35 expected goals, so the model treats the scoring threat as identical. Translating that symmetry into win probabilities yields 37.1% for each side, with the draw left at 25.8%. Because the home team’s win chance matches the away side’s but exceeds the draw, the model flags a slight home advantage, justifying the Venezia win pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Venezia averaging 1.35 expected goals and Modena 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 (Venezia 1.35, Modena 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 (Venezia 1.35 + Modena 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 (Venezia 1.35 + Modena 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 Venezia at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Modena 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.
