H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 2 H2H matches, Swindon Town have won 1, Notts County 1, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.5 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 29 Mar 2024, ended Swindon Town 2–1 Notts County — a Swindon Town win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading Patterns
Swindon Town in-play and half-time data (last 49 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; of the 19 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 42%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 71% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.
Notts County in-play and half-time data (last 49 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 51%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Swindon Town 69% and Notts County 69% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Swindon Town 69% | Notts County 74%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Swindon Town 1.23 xG and Notts County 1.61 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: Swindon Town attack 0.926 / defence 1.364 | Notts County attack 0.957 / defence 0.892. League average goals — home 1.483 / away 1.234. Swindon Town's defence rating of 1.364 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Notts County's projected output up. Data: built from Swindon Town's last 49 games and Notts County's last 49.
Result probabilities: Swindon Town 29% | Draw 25% | Notts County 46%. Fair-value odds: Swindon Town 3.44 | Draw 4.07 | Notts County 2.16. Notts County hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 2.84. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.84 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Notts County at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Notts County offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.84 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 54% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Swindon Town's last 10 home games and Notts County's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Swindon Town 90% (last 10 home games) | Notts County 50% (last 10 away games).
