Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Atletico Madrid 1.65 xG and Getafe 0.79 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: Atletico Madrid attack 1.057 / defence 0.994 | Getafe attack 0.697 / defence 0.970. League average goals — home 1.609 / away 1.139. Data: 41 Atletico Madrid games / 41 Getafe games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Atletico Madrid 58% | Draw 24% | Getafe 18%. Fair-value odds: Atletico Madrid 1.72 | Draw 4.17 | Getafe 5.56. The model has a clear lean to Atletico Madrid (58%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.44. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.44 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 44% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Atletico Madrid as the most likely outcome at 58% — clear model lean. Current-season 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 2.44 combined xG gives a 44% probability to Under 2.5 — marginal — conflicting signals, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 3.0 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 44%. Form rates corroborate: Atletico Madrid 50% | Getafe 10% BTTS from recent games.
