Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sirius 1.63 xG and Malmo FF 1.67 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: Sirius attack 1.097 / defence 0.985 | Malmo FF attack 1.239 / defence 0.899. League average goals — home 1.658 / away 1.372. Malmo FF have an above-average attack rating of 1.239, which lifts their away xG to 1.67. Data: built from Sirius's last 44 games and Malmo FF's last 45.

Result probabilities: Sirius 38% | Draw 23% | Malmo FF 39%. Fair-value odds: Sirius 2.65 | Draw 4.35 | Malmo FF 2.54. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 23% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS Yes probability 65% | Total xG 3.31. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.31 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% — both xG figures (1.63 / 1.67) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Malmo FF are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Malmo FF offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 38% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.31 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 64% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Sirius's last 10 home games and Malmo FF's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 65%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Sirius 50% (last 10 home games) | Malmo FF 60% (last 10 away games).
