View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Statistical analysis favors a BTTS scenario: league BTTS is high (57%), and both teams have 60% BTTS in last5. Southend shows solid recent attacking form (avg 1.8 goals in L5) and season BTTS 55%, while Yeovil, despite lower season BTTS (35%), maintains comparable xG (1.23) and averages 1.4 goals in L5. Both sides concede relatively frequently (seasonal GA 1.5 and 1.35, xG_against >1.5) and have similar SOT counts, increasing the likelihood of mutual scoring. Low/moderate CS rates (20%/25%) further support BTTS = Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Model gives total xG ≈2.90 (1.50 Southend, 1.40 Yeovil), close to league mean 2.94. Southend has better offensive metrics and higher recent 5-match xG; Yeovil concedes more xG, favoring goals conceded. High Over 0.5 and Over 1.5 percentages for the home side and moderate values for the away side increase the chance of at least two goals. Shot and conversion stats confirm sustained goal threat; league BTTS ~57% supports both teams scoring. Strongest signal: Over 1.5 as preferred line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Statistical analysis points to a high probability of a draw at half-time — the home side has 60% HT draws and the opponents 45% in this category. Southend has a pronounced second-half edge (last5_ppg_2hg_home 2.0, over05_2hg_percentage_home 80%), increasing the chance of a turnaround after the break and a home win. Overall the hosts display better PPG and higher shot efficiency, while xG is similar, suggesting an even first 45 minutes and Southend advantage after the break. The risk of Yeovil quickly leading at HT is low (trailingAtHTPercentage_away high but overall weaker form and lower PPG). Accordingly the strong market signal is HT draw and FT home win (X/1).
