Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Norrby IF 1.81 xG and IFK Varnamo 1.34 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: Norrby IF attack 1.012 / defence 1.135 | IFK Varnamo attack 0.911 / defence 1.278. League average goals — home 1.402 / away 1.295. IFK Varnamo bring a strong defensive rating of 1.278 — this is suppressing Norrby IF's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 21 Norrby IF games / 21 IFK Varnamo games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Norrby IF 48% | Draw 25% | IFK Varnamo 27%. Fair-value odds: Norrby IF 2.08 | Draw 4.00 | IFK Varnamo 3.70. Norrby IF hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.15. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.15 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.81 / 1.34) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Norrby IF as the most likely outcome at 48% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Norrby IF if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 3.15 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 61% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Norrby IF 70% | IFK Varnamo 60% BTTS from recent games.
