Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Jong Utrecht 1.28 xG and FC Eindhoven 2.01 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: Jong Utrecht attack 0.734 / defence 1.274 | FC Eindhoven attack 1.135 / defence 1.135. League average goals — home 1.542 / away 1.392. Jong Utrecht's attack strength of 0.734 is below the league average — the 1.28 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 55 Jong Utrecht games / 55 FC Eindhoven games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Jong Utrecht 23% | Draw 24% | FC Eindhoven 53%. Fair-value odds: Jong Utrecht 4.35 | Draw 4.17 | FC Eindhoven 1.89. FC Eindhoven hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.30. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.30 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (1.28 / 2.01) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is FC Eindhoven at 53% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC Eindhoven if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.30 combined xG gives a 64% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.4 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 64%. Form rates are neutral: Jong Utrecht 50% | FC Eindhoven 40%.
