Match Analysis
York United host Forge at York Lions Stadium in Canadian Premier League (matchday 7). Kick-off is Monday 10 July 2023 at 01:30 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, York United stand at 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W L D L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
York United's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 2D 3L (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Across their last 10 games, Forge have recorded 3W 2D 5L — 1.10 PPG. Last five: L L L W L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).
On the road, Forge have gone 4W 3D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.50 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.
York United are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.60 PPG ahead (1.70 vs 1.10). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
In-Play Data
York United trading profile (last 42 games, 20 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 60% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 45% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 40% of games.
Forge trading profile (last 42 games, 20 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; BTTS occurs in 40% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 30% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — York United 45% versus Forge 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (York United 48% | Forge 40%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects York United 1.14 xG and Forge 0.99 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: York United attack 0.917 / defence 1.064 | Forge attack 0.757 / defence 0.928. League average goals — home 1.342 / away 1.226. Forge's attack rating of 0.757 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.99. Data: built from York United's last 42 games and Forge's last 42.
Result probabilities: York United 39% | Draw 31% | Forge 31%. Fair-value odds: York United 2.59 | Draw 3.28 | Forge 3.24. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 36% | BTTS Yes probability 43% | Total xG 2.13. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 64% — total xG of 2.13 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, York United are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on York United offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.13 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 64% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 57%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: York United 60% (last 10 home games) | Forge 40% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Forge beat York United 0-4 at York Lions Stadium, Regular Season - 7, in the Canadian Premier League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting York United 1.14 xG and Forge 0.99 xG, a combined 2.13. The scoreboard read 0-4 for 4 actual goals. York United fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Forge outscored their 0.99 projection by 3.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of York United attack 0.92 / defence 1.06 against Forge attack 0.76 / defence 0.93, drawn from 42/42 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it York United 39% | Draw 31% | Forge 31%, with York United to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Forge win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 36%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 63% and landed. Over 3.5 was 17% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (York United 48%, Forge 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
York United's trading profile (42 games, 20 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Forge's trading profile (42 games, 20 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — York United 1.29 PPG, Forge 1.64 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Forge win broke the near-deadlock. York United (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.15 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.40 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Forge (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.30 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 0.90 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
