Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Estac Troyes 1.10 xG and Stade Brestois 29 1.86 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: Estac Troyes attack 0.740 / defence 1.361 | Stade Brestois 29 attack 1.045 / defence 0.940. League average goals — home 1.576 / away 1.312. Estac Troyes's attack rating of 0.740 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.10. Estac Troyes's defence rating of 1.361 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Stade Brestois 29's projected output up. Data: built from Estac Troyes's last 10 games and Stade Brestois 29's last 44.

Result probabilities: Estac Troyes 21% | Draw 24% | Stade Brestois 29 55%. Fair-value odds: Estac Troyes 4.67 | Draw 4.18 | Stade Brestois 29 1.83. The model has a clear lean to Stade Brestois 29 (55%) — a 31pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | 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 Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Stade Brestois 29 are the pick at 55% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.96 combined xG gives a 57% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Estac Troyes's last 10 home games and Stade Brestois 29's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 57%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Estac Troyes 50% (last 10 home games) | Stade Brestois 29 50% (last 10 away games).
