Rhyl enter the Welsh Cup match at home after a win, but the model still rates Caernarfon Town the clear favourite, assigning them a 75% chance of triumph. The team’s recent two-game winning streak and the fact that Rhyl’s home form is against stronger opponents explain the high probability. The model predicts an average of 4.3 goals, with the most likely total being 6 + goals at 26%. The single most probable scoreline is 1-3 in favour of Caernarfon Town, with an 8.2% probability. Rhyl’s home statistics show 2.13 goals scored and 1.6 conceded against stronger teams, while Caernarfon’s away form is strong, though the JSON does not provide explicit figures.
