Match Analysis
Forge host Cavalry FC at Tim Hortons Field in Canadian Premier League (matchday 1). Kick-off is Saturday 13 April 2024 at 22:00 UK time.
Form Guide
Forge — last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L, averaging 1.80 points per game. Last five: W L L W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Forge's form when playing at home: 4W 4D 2L across their last 10 home games (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 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, Cavalry FC have recorded 7W 1D 2L — 2.20 PPG. Last five: W W L W L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 0.90. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, Cavalry FC have gone 6W 1D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Forge 1.80 PPG, Cavalry FC 2.20 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Forge's games and 60% of Cavalry FC's (from Forge's last 10 home games and Cavalry FC's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Trading Patterns
Forge in-play and half-time data (last 61 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 57% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 47%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).
Cavalry FC in-play and half-time data (last 61 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Forge 48% versus Cavalry FC 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Forge 48% | Cavalry FC 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Forge 1.35 xG and Cavalry FC 1.29 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: Forge attack 1.001 / defence 0.989 | Cavalry FC attack 1.022 / defence 0.960. League average goals — home 1.410 / away 1.273. Data: built from Forge's last 28 games and Cavalry FC's last 28. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.
Result probabilities: Forge 39% | Draw 26% | Cavalry FC 35%. Fair-value odds: Forge 2.60 | Draw 3.83 | Cavalry FC 2.83. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes probability 54% | Total xG 2.64. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.64 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 54% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Forge are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Forge offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.64 combined xG gives a 51% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Forge 60% (last 10 home games) | Cavalry FC 60% (last 10 away games).
The Poisson model's sample (Forge 28 games, Cavalry FC 28) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
