Braintree no longer play in the National League. This page keeps their last full season there — 46 league games in 2025-26 — because the record is still the best guide to how their matches ran. Nothing below is from the current campaign.
Braintree went over 2.5 goals in 22 of 46 league games that season (48%) — 48% at home, 48% away. They scored 38 and conceded 76, so their matches averaged 2.48 goals, and both teams scored in 48% of them. Record: 8-12-26 in the National League.

Home/away splits are small samples — our 30,582-match study found ~94% of such gaps are indistinguishable from chance, which is why the app's ratings pool them rather than trusting the split.

Streaks read louder than they predict: our break study found a three-game goals run carries roughly ±4.6 points of signal — real, but small, and it resets entirely after a long lay-off.
