Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Universidad de Chile 0.82 xG and Union La Calera 1.56 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: Universidad de Chile attack 0.742 / defence 1.146 | Union La Calera attack 1.090 / defence 1.116. League average goals — home 0.990 / away 1.253. Universidad de Chile's attack strength of 0.742 is below the league average — the 0.82 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 31 Universidad de Chile games / 31 Union La Calera games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Universidad de Chile 19% | Draw 27% | Union La Calera 54%. Fair-value odds: Universidad de Chile 5.26 | Draw 3.70 | Union La Calera 1.85. Union La Calera hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 43% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.38. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 57% — total xG of 2.38 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Union La Calera as the most likely outcome at 54% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Union La Calera offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.38 combined xG gives a 43% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 45% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Universidad de Chile 60% | Union La Calera 80% from recent games — a notable divergence.
