HFX Wanderers FC's form when playing at home: 7W 0D 3L across their last 10 home games (2.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.70 PPG for HFX Wanderers FC against 1.90 for Cavalry FC. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
Trading Data
HFX Wanderers FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 51 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 13 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
Cavalry FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 51 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; of the 19 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 26%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — HFX Wanderers FC 45% versus Cavalry FC 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (HFX Wanderers FC 45% | Cavalry FC 51%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects HFX Wanderers FC 1.47 xG and Cavalry FC 1.17 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: HFX Wanderers FC attack 1.196 / defence 0.838 | Cavalry FC attack 1.076 / defence 0.957. League average goals — home 1.287 / away 1.298. Data: built from HFX Wanderers FC's last 51 games and Cavalry FC's last 51.
Result probabilities: HFX Wanderers FC 42% | Draw 29% | Cavalry FC 28%. Fair-value odds: HFX Wanderers FC 2.36 | Draw 3.40 | Cavalry FC 3.54. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | 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 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates HFX Wanderers FC as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on HFX Wanderers FC if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.64 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 51% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 55% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: HFX Wanderers FC 50% (last 10 home games) | Cavalry FC 60% (last 10 away games).
