Boston United v Fylde

National League, game week 10 — UK time

Your appraisal — and now the market.

The appraisal

Fylde is new to this division, so the rank comparison rests on less than a shared season. -1.32 points a game is the venue form gap, in Fylde's favour: Boston United takes 1.08 a game at home over the last two seasons, Fylde 2.40 away. Boston United scores heaviest in the 46-60 spell and concedes heaviest in 76-90+; Fylde scores heaviest in 31-45+ and concedes heaviest in 76-90+. Averaging the two sides' own rates: over 2.5 goals in 71% of their games, both teams scoring in 76%, and a two-goal lead for one side or the other in 45%. On the record this leans a goals match.

How it may unfold

If the pattern holds -- and a pattern is a shape, not a promise: Fylde lands the first blow more often (6 of 9 to 23 of 50); when a lead builds towards 2UP it is more often Fylde's -- two goals clear in 4 of 9, against 11 of 50; a one-goal lead has not been safe in Boston United's hands -- ahead without winning in 14 of 50; a one-goal lead has not been safe in Fylde's hands -- ahead without winning in 3 of 9.

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: Boston United 1.11 goals expected, Fylde 2.06, from two seasons of scoring rates (26 home matches and 5 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 numbers against the market’s

Match result

Our tissue: Boston United 5.04 (20%), the draw 4.78 (21%), Fylde 1.69 (59%). The market's averages: 2.17, 3.55 and 2.75. The widest gap is on Fylde: the market offers 2.75 against our 1.69. If our figures are right that is value; nothing proves they are.

Over or under 2.5 goals

Our tissue: over 2.5 1.63 (61%), under 2.5 2.59 (39%). The market's averages: over 2.5 1.57, under 2.5 2.35. Close to our view -- no argument either way.

Both teams to score

Our tissue: yes 1.71 (58%), no 2.41 (42%). The market's averages: yes 1.43, no 2.59. The market is shorter than our number on yes.

The 2UP fact

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 Boston United's own 26 home matches read, one appeared in 8 (31%). In Fylde's own 5 away matches read, 3 (60%). Averaging the two sides' rates -- never pooling their matches -- that is 45% 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.
