Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Olympiakos Piraeus 1.24 xG and Atromitos 1.09 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: Olympiakos Piraeus attack 1.036 / defence 0.869 | Atromitos attack 1.011 / defence 0.969. League average goals — home 1.234 / away 1.244. Data: built from Olympiakos Piraeus's last 31 games and Atromitos's last 31.

Result probabilities: Olympiakos Piraeus 36% | Draw 36% | Atromitos 28%. Fair-value odds: Olympiakos Piraeus 2.81 | Draw 2.78 | Atromitos 3.52. The draw (36%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.33. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.33 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's most likely outcome is the draw at 36% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 36% and away win at 28% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

Poisson projects 2.33 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 59% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 51%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Olympiakos Piraeus 50% (last 10 home games) | Atromitos 60% (last 10 away games).
