Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Rodez 0.97 xG and Quevilly 1.06 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: Rodez attack 0.912 / defence 1.266 | Quevilly attack 0.806 / defence 0.881. League average goals — home 1.207 / away 1.043. Data: 66 Rodez games / 66 Quevilly games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Rodez 31% | Draw 32% | Quevilly 36%. Fair-value odds: Rodez 3.23 | Draw 3.12 | Quevilly 2.78. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 33% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.04. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 67% probability — total xG of 2.04 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Quevilly as the most likely outcome at 36% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 32% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Quevilly if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.04 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 33% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game and H2H averaging 1.7 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 42% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Rodez 60% | Quevilly 10% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
