Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Both teams to score - Yes Strong lean Strong · High probability

The model gives an 89.6% probability that each side will find the net, driven by identical 3.0 expected‑goals and flawless defensive averages.

Show the maths
The model’s expected‑goals for each side sit at 3.0, indicating a high likelihood of multiple scoring chances. When the xG gap is zero, the probability of both teams scoring rises sharply, which the model quantifies at 89.6%. The identical defensive averages (0.0 goals‑against) reinforce that any conceded goal will be a breach, not a fluke, cementing the high BTTS probability.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 89.6% model probability

With Mulbarton Wanderers averaging 3.0 expected goals and Gloucester City averaging 3.0, the model gives a 89.6% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 10.4% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Mulbarton Wanderers 3.0, Gloucester City 3.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 89.6% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 10.4% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 93.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 6.0 (Mulbarton Wanderers 3.0 + Gloucester City 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 93.0% chance against 7.0% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Mulbarton Wanderers 3.0 + Gloucester City 3.0 = 6.0 combined): 93.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 7.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Mulbarton Wanderers at 41.3%, the draw at 16.7%, and Gloucester City at 41.3% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline
