Hanworth VillavsChertsey Town

This is round six of the Southern Premier League South, with both sides playing on a short two-day turnaround after their last matches on 29 August. The model strongly favours the hosts, giving Hanworth Villa a 72.1% win probability and a projected 2-0 scoreline.

Hanworth Villa have no league table record in the supplied data, but their recent form reads DWLWW, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 0.4 conceded over the last five games. At home they have won both of their last two, scoring an average of three goals while conceding 0.5.

Chertsey Town have won both of their last two away games, averaging 2.5 goals scored and one conceded. Their overall recent form is LWDWW, with an average of 2.2 scored and 1.2 conceded across the last five outings.

There are no prior meetings on record between these two sides. With no head-to-head history to draw on, the model is built entirely from recent results and scheduling inputs.

Hanworth Villa's home sample is limited to two matches, both wins, with a strong goal difference. Chertsey Town's away sample is also two wins, but they have conceded at a slightly higher rate. Neither sample is large enough to establish a clear venue pattern.

Both teams are on a congested two-day turnaround, having last played on 29 August, which affects the two sides' preparation equally. The absence of league table data means the projection rests on short-run form and the model's inputs rather than a full-season context.

The Poisson model gives Hanworth Villa a 72.1% chance of winning, with a draw at 16.8% and an away win at 11.1%. The projected score is 2-0, and the most likely exact scorelines are 2-0, 1-0, and 2-1. The model expects about 3.2 total goals, with an 83.1% chance of at least two goals and a 51% chance both sides score. The margin outlook favours a home win by two or more goals at 49.4%.

The data points firmly to a home win, with Hanworth Villa backed by strong home form and a substantial model edge. Chertsey Town's away record is decent, but the probability gap is wide. A home victory by multiple goals is the most consistent reading, though the small sample on both sides is a notable caveat.
