Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Alverca 1.68 xG and Academico Viseu 1.39 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: Alverca attack 1.015 / defence 1.044 | Academico Viseu attack 1.053 / defence 1.236. League average goals — home 1.337 / away 1.260. Academico Viseu bring a strong defensive rating of 1.236 — this is suppressing Alverca's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 38 Alverca games / 4 Academico Viseu games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Alverca 44% | Draw 24% | Academico Viseu 32%. Fair-value odds: Alverca 2.27 | Draw 4.17 | Academico Viseu 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.68 / 1.39) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Alverca are the pick at 44% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Alverca if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.06 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Alverca 90% | Academico Viseu 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
