Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects PAS Giannina 1.56 xG and AEK Athens FC 1.46 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: PAS Giannina attack 1.030 / defence 0.977 | AEK Athens FC attack 1.142 / defence 1.356. League average goals — home 1.119 / away 1.312. AEK Athens FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.356 — this is suppressing PAS Giannina's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 10 PAS Giannina games / 10 AEK Athens FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: PAS Giannina 39% | Draw 26% | AEK Athens FC 35%. Fair-value odds: PAS Giannina 2.56 | Draw 3.85 | AEK Athens FC 2.86. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.03. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.03 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.56 / 1.46) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates corroborate: PAS Giannina 60% | AEK Athens FC 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% 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.
