H2H

The H2H landscape is flat: 10 previous encounters have yielded 2 wins for Athletic Club, 2 for Getafe and 6 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Athletic Club 1.35 xG and Getafe 0.93 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: Athletic Club attack 0.868 / defence 1.185 | Getafe attack 0.703 / defence 0.977. League average goals — home 1.589 / away 1.121. Data: 41 Athletic Club games / 41 Getafe games used (CurrentSeason).
