Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lommel United 1.66 xG and KRC Genk II 1.47 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: Lommel United attack 1.011 / defence 0.787 | KRC Genk II attack 1.236 / defence 1.336. League average goals — home 1.228 / away 1.515. KRC Genk II's defence rating of 1.336 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Lommel United's projected output up. KRC Genk II have an above-average attack rating of 1.236, which lifts their away xG to 1.47. Lommel United have a tight defence (rating 0.787), which is pulling KRC Genk II's projected output down. Data: built from Lommel United's last 35 games and KRC Genk II's last 35.

Result probabilities: Lommel United 42% | Draw 24% | KRC Genk II 34%. Fair-value odds: Lommel United 2.37 | Draw 4.24 | KRC Genk II 2.92. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.66 / 1.47) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Lommel United are the pick at 42% — marginal model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Lommel United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.13 combined xG gives a 61% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Lommel United's last 10 home games and KRC Genk II's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.2 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Lommel United 50% (last 10 home games) | KRC Genk II 70% (last 10 away games).
