National League, game week 4 — UK time
Your appraisal — and now the market.
The table makes Scunthorpe United the bigger side: 5th against 14th of 24 last season. Against the block the other keeps: Scunthorpe United takes 1.81 points a game, Solihull Moors 0.88 -- the block form is Scunthorpe United's. +0.67 points a game is the venue form gap, in Scunthorpe United's favour: Scunthorpe United takes 1.84 a game at home over the last two seasons, Solihull Moors 1.17 away. Scunthorpe United scores heaviest in the 76-90+ spell and concedes heaviest in 76-90+; Solihull Moors scores heaviest in 76-90+ and concedes heaviest in 76-90+. The shapes mesh: Scunthorpe United's strongest scoring spell is exactly where Solihull Moors is softest. Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 56% of their games, both teams scoring in 62%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 41%. On the record this leans a goals match.
If the pattern holds -- and a pattern is a shape, not a promise: the first blow is even money on the record (24 of 50 and 25 of 49); a one-goal lead has not been safe in Scunthorpe United's hands -- ahead without winning in 9 of 50; a one-goal lead has not been safe in Solihull Moors's hands -- ahead without winning in 13 of 49; Scunthorpe United finds its goals latest of all -- 18 of its 82 after the 75th, and Solihull Moors concedes most in that same spell; Solihull Moors finds its goals latest of all -- 16 of its 74 after the 75th, and Scunthorpe United concedes most in that same spell; the last quarter-hour is where this fixture's money is likeliest to move.
That read is built from the four steps, with no price in your ear -- the steps hold the evidence if you want the post-mortem. Now the market gets its say. Where it agrees with you it got there first; where it does not, your read and the crowd's disagree -- that is the conversation this tool exists to set up, and no measured edge backs either side of it.
The tissue is a plain goals model: Scunthorpe United 1.53 goals expected, Solihull Moors 1.13, from two seasons of scoring rates (25 home matches and 24 away in the bank), shrunk toward the division average. It is calibrated against nothing and claims no edge -- it exists to make your view concrete before the market speaks.
Our tissue: Scunthorpe United 2.16 (46%), the draw 3.93 (25%), Solihull Moors 3.54 (28%). The market's averages: 1.69, 3.65 and 3.80. The widest gap is on Scunthorpe United: the market is shorter (1.69) than our 2.16 -- it rates that outcome more than we do.
Our tissue: over 2.5 2.01 (50%), under 2.5 1.99 (50%). The market's averages: over 2.5 1.57, under 2.5 2.21. The market is shorter than our number on over 2.5.
Our tissue: yes 1.88 (53%), no 2.13 (47%). The market's averages: yes 1.53, no 2.30. The market is shorter than our number on yes.
For the 2UP offer the fact that matters is a two-goal lead for one team or the other at ANY point, not the final margin. In Scunthorpe United's own 25 home matches read, one appeared in 9 (36%). In Solihull Moors's own 24 away matches read, 11 (46%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 41% of games. No tissue is offered for this -- the played-match rates above are the honest read.
The market figures are the AVERAGE pre-match odds our feed records across books, not a best price -- a shaded average, so small gaps mean nothing.
