Form Guide
Carlisle — last 10 games: 1W 4D 5L, averaging 0.70 points per game. Last five: W D D L L. They are averaging 0.70 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).
In front of their own supporters, Carlisle have posted 2W 5D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.10 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Peterborough stand at 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: L D W D W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.10. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
Peterborough's form when playing away from home: 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 road games (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.
The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. Peterborough are 1.00 PPG ahead (1.70 vs 0.70), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.
In-Play Data
Carlisle trading profile (last 58 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 72% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 45% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 34% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
Peterborough trading profile (last 58 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 55% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Carlisle 47% versus Peterborough 43%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Carlisle 36% | Peterborough 57%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Carlisle 0.84 xG and Peterborough 1.36 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Carlisle attack 0.731 / defence 1.120 | Peterborough attack 1.103 / defence 0.964. League average goals — home 1.197 / away 1.104. Carlisle's attack rating of 0.731 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.84. Data: built from Carlisle's last 10 games and Peterborough's last 56.
Result probabilities: Carlisle 23% | Draw 28% | Peterborough 49%. Fair-value odds: Carlisle 4.37 | Draw 3.52 | Peterborough 2.05. Peterborough hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 38% | BTTS Yes probability 43% | Total xG 2.21. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 62% — total xG of 2.21 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 57% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Peterborough are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Peterborough offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.21 combined xG gives a 62% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 57% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Carlisle 60% (last 10 home games) | Peterborough 50% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Brunton Park, Regular Season - 11, as Carlisle and Peterborough drew 1-1 in the League One. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Carlisle 0.84 xG and Peterborough 1.36 xG, a combined 2.21. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Carlisle attack 0.73 / defence 1.12 against Peterborough attack 1.10 / defence 0.96, drawn from 10/56 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Carlisle 23% | Draw 28% | Peterborough 49%, with Peterborough to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Carlisle 36%, Peterborough 57%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Carlisle's trading profile (58 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and conceded here.
Peterborough's trading profile (58 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Carlisle 1.45 PPG, Peterborough 1.67 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
