Form & Momentum

Jonkopings Sodra have collected 0.40 PPG across their last 10 games: 1W 1D 8L. Last five: L L L W L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 2.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.20 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Jonkopings Sodra's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 1D 4L (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.40 — Jonkopings Sodra are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Ostersunds FK (all games): 2W 7D 1L across their last 10 — 1.30 points per game. Last five: D D D L W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Ostersunds FK have gone 2W 4D 4L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.

The travelling side arrive in better shape. Ostersunds FK are 0.90 PPG clear of Jonkopings Sodra over their recent games (1.30 vs 0.40). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.

H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Jonkopings Sodra, 0 for Ostersunds FK and 2 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.0 per game across the 3 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 6 May 2023, ended Jonkopings Sodra 3–3 Ostersunds FK — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Jonkopings Sodra goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 54 games, 27 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; of the 13 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 54%; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 29%; BTTS occurs in 74% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 39%.

Ostersunds FK goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 54 games, 27 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 59% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 47%; of the 9 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 37% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Jonkopings Sodra 70% and Ostersunds FK 57% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Jonkopings Sodra 65% | Ostersunds FK 43%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Jonkopings Sodra surrender their half-time lead 54% of the time, while Ostersunds FK have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 33% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Jonkopings Sodra 1.54 xG and Ostersunds FK 1.20 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: Jonkopings Sodra attack 0.955 / defence 1.122 | Ostersunds FK attack 0.831 / defence 0.989. League average goals — home 1.630 / away 1.287. Data: built from Jonkopings Sodra's last 54 games and Ostersunds FK's last 54.

Result probabilities: Jonkopings Sodra 44% | Draw 28% | Ostersunds FK 28%. Fair-value odds: Jonkopings Sodra 2.29 | Draw 3.55 | Ostersunds FK 3.55. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.74. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.74 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 56% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Jonkopings Sodra at 44% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Ostersunds FK (1.30 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Jonkopings Sodra if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.74 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 52% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Jonkopings Sodra's last 10 home games and Ostersunds FK's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 56% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Jonkopings Sodra 80% (last 10 home games) | Ostersunds FK 50% (last 10 away games).
