Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Club Brugge KV 2.15 xG and Charleroi 0.93 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: Club Brugge KV attack 1.486 / defence 0.892 | Charleroi attack 0.810 / defence 0.946. League average goals — home 1.529 / away 1.285. Club Brugge KV carry an above-average attack rating of 1.486 — their 2.15 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Club Brugge KV's last 39 games and Charleroi's last 39.

Result probabilities: Club Brugge KV 65% | Draw 20% | Charleroi 15%. Fair-value odds: Club Brugge KV 1.53 | Draw 5.12 | Charleroi 6.61. The model has a clear lean to Club Brugge KV (65%) — a 45pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Club Brugge KV are the pick at 65% — clear 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 No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.08 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Club Brugge KV's last 10 home games and Charleroi's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Club Brugge KV 50% (last 10 home games) | Charleroi 50% (last 10 away games).
