They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

VPS's form when playing away from home: 5W 1D 4L across 10 road games this term (1.60 PPG).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FF Jaro 1.13 xG and VPS 1.84 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: FF Jaro attack 0.661 / defence 1.053 | VPS attack 1.208 / defence 1.101. League average goals — home 1.549 / away 1.445. FF Jaro's attack strength of 0.661 is below the league average — the 1.13 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. VPS have an above-average attack strength of 1.208 — the away xG of 1.84 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 16 FF Jaro games / 38 VPS games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FF Jaro 22% | Draw 25% | VPS 53%. Fair-value odds: FF Jaro 4.55 | Draw 4.00 | VPS 1.89. VPS hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.96. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.96 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is VPS at 53% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on VPS offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.96 combined xG gives a 57% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 58% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: FF Jaro 50% | VPS 90% BTTS from recent games.
