Form Guide

Mariehamn — last 10 games: 2W 1D 7L, averaging 0.70 points per game. Last five: L W L L W. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Mariehamn at home: 3W 3D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.20 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 1.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.70 — Mariehamn are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Across their last 10 games, Inter Turku have recorded 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: L W D L W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.10 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

On the road, Inter Turku have gone 3W 1D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 1.00 is notably below their overall 1.70 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Inter Turku — 1.00 PPG ahead of the hosts (1.70 vs 0.70). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

Head to Head

The H2H picture is flat: the 5 H2H matches we hold have produced 1 wins for Mariehamn, 3 for Inter Turku and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 5 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.2 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 2 Aug 2024, ended Mariehamn 0–3 Inter Turku — a Inter Turku win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.2 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Mariehamn in-play and half-time data (last 53 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 42% of the time; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 44%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

Inter Turku in-play and half-time data (last 53 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Mariehamn 53% versus Inter Turku 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Mariehamn 58% | Inter Turku 62%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Mariehamn 1.05 xG and Inter Turku 1.50 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: Mariehamn attack 0.734 / defence 1.106 | Inter Turku attack 1.084 / defence 0.882. League average goals — home 1.616 / away 1.248. Mariehamn's attack rating of 0.734 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.05. Data: built from Mariehamn's last 44 games and Inter Turku's last 44.

Result probabilities: Mariehamn 26% | Draw 27% | Inter Turku 47%. Fair-value odds: Mariehamn 3.87 | Draw 3.67 | Inter Turku 2.13. Inter Turku hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.54. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.54 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — 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 Inter Turku at 47% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Inter Turku offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.54 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 53% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.2 goals per game across 5 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Mariehamn 40% (last 10 home games) | Inter Turku 30% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
