Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Norrby IF 1.07 xG and IK brage 1.54 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 0.815 / defence 0.995 | IK brage attack 1.194 / defence 0.930. League average goals — home 1.407 / away 1.300.

Result probabilities: Norrby IF 26% | Draw 26% | IK brage 48%. Fair-value odds: Norrby IF 3.85 | Draw 3.85 | IK brage 2.08. IK brage hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
