The FA Cup tie pits a prolific away side against a home team that has struggled to find the net this season. With Wimborne Town averaging three goals per game on the road and Weston's attack rated at just 1.35 expected goals, the odds heavily favor the visitors.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Wimborne Town to win Strong lean Strong · Clear xG gap

The model assigns a 70.4% probability to an away win, driven by Wimborne's superior xG and defensive record versus Weston's goalless home output.

Show the maths
Wimborne Town's expected goals of 3.0 are more than double Weston-super-Mare's 1.35, creating a substantial scoring advantage. Their away goals‑for average of 3.0 versus Weston's home goals‑for average of 0.0 translates into a high probability of scoring at least once. Combining this offensive edge with a defensive record of conceding only one away goal per game gives the model a 70.4% chance of a Wimborne win, which directly supports the pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 70.1% model probability

With Weston-super-Mare averaging 1.35 expected goals and Wimborne Town averaging 3.0, the model gives a 70.1% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 29.9% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Weston-super-Mare 1.35, Wimborne Town 3.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 70.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 29.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 80.5% model probability

Combined expected goals of 4.3 (Weston-super-Mare 1.35 + Wimborne Town 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 80.5% chance against 19.5% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Weston-super-Mare 1.35 + Wimborne Town 3.0 = 4.3 combined): 80.5% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 19.5% finishing with 2 or fewer.
