Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Witham Town to win Won Slight lean Lean · Home advantage

The model gives Witham a 37.1% chance of victory, matching Stotfold’s odds but offering a slight home‑field preference.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected goals value of 1.35, so the model treats their attacking output as identical. Converting those xG figures into win probabilities yields 37.1% for each side and a 25.8% draw chance. The home team’s probability is therefore the highest single outcome, albeit only marginally above the away side, which underpins the pick for Witham Town to win.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Witham Town averaging 1.35 expected goals and Stotfold 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 (Witham Town 1.35, Stotfold 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 (Witham Town 1.35 + Stotfold 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 (Witham Town 1.35 + Stotfold 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 Witham Town at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Stotfold 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.
