Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Union St. Gilloise 1.52 xG and Club Brugge KV 1.02 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: Union St. Gilloise attack 1.187 / defence 0.632 | Club Brugge KV attack 1.218 / defence 0.960. League average goals — home 1.331 / away 1.321. Club Brugge KV have an above-average attack rating of 1.218, which lifts their away xG to 1.02. Union St. Gilloise have a tight defence (rating 0.632), which is pulling Club Brugge KV's projected output down. Data: built from Union St. Gilloise's last 60 games and Club Brugge KV's last 60.

Result probabilities: Union St. Gilloise 49% | Draw 26% | Club Brugge KV 25%. Fair-value odds: Union St. Gilloise 2.05 | Draw 3.88 | Club Brugge KV 3.94. Union St. Gilloise hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 2.53. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.53 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
