The Dressing Room

the table and pressure

Altrincham's home run gives them a platform against a mid-table visitor

Altrincham sit 5th with 27 points from 14 games, inside the play-off places, and have won four of their last five at home, scoring 10 and conceding 3. Carlisle are 11th on 20 points, five back, though unbeaten in their last three league games.

The Sceptic

where the market may be wrong

Carlisle's away record argues the market may have them slightly short

Altrincham's games go over 2.5 goals 79% of the time, which supports the 61% over price. The 1X2 looks close to fair, maybe a touch generous to the visitors.

How these numbers are made

A data-model preview uses the bookmakers' prices for this match with their margin removed by the power method. Our AI analysts read only the data (form, home and away record, head-to-head, goal timings and the table), not the team news, and they do not change these numbers. Total goals, both teams to score and likely scores come from one score grid fitted to these probabilities.

Stats previews are graded separately from our full analyses in the track record. Methodology
