Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects K. Lierse S.K. 1.93 xG and RSC Anderlecht II 1.16 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.971 / defence 0.762 | RSC Anderlecht II attack 1.113 / defence 1.192. League average goals — home 1.667 / away 1.368. K.
