Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.00 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.20 lags behind their overall 1.70 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.

On current form, Everton de Vina have the edge — a 0.50 PPG advantage (1.70 vs 1.20) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

H2H

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 4 H2H matches, Everton de Vina have won 0, O'Higgins 2, with 2 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

Scoring has been limited in the 4 H2H matches in our data, averaging 1.2 goals per game, which makes Under 2.5 the head-to-head-backed angle in the goals market. The most recent of those, on 16 May 2023, ended Everton de Vina 1–1 O'Higgins — a draw.

With a balanced win record and just 1.2 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading Patterns

Everton de Vina in-play and half-time data (last 58 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 66% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 57%; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (home games).

O'Higgins in-play and half-time data (last 58 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 52% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 47%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (away games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Everton de Vina 57% versus O'Higgins 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Everton de Vina 43% | O'Higgins 43%). Note also that O'Higgins surrender HT leads in 33% of cases while Everton de Vina recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 57% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Everton de Vina 1.45 xG and O'Higgins 1.70 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: Everton de Vina attack 0.921 / defence 1.053 | O'Higgins attack 1.179 / defence 1.095. League average goals — home 1.438 / away 1.371. Data: built from Everton de Vina's last 58 games and O'Higgins's last 58.

Result probabilities: Everton de Vina 32% | Draw 24% | O'Higgins 43%. Fair-value odds: Everton de Vina 3.08 | Draw 4.12 | O'Higgins 2.31. 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 63% | Total xG 3.15. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.15 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% — both xG figures (1.45 / 1.70) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates O'Higgins as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Everton de Vina (1.70 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on O'Higgins offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.15 combined xG gives a 61% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Everton de Vina's last 10 home games and O'Higgins's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.2 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 63% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Everton de Vina 80% (last 10 home games) | O'Higgins 40% (last 10 away games).
