Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gais 1.14 xG and Hammarby FF 0.79 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: Gais attack 0.917 / defence 0.687 | Hammarby FF attack 0.849 / defence 0.791. League average goals — home 1.572 / away 1.347. Hammarby FF's defence strength of 0.791 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Gais's defence rating of 0.687 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 38 Gais games / 38 Hammarby FF games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gais 44% | Draw 31% | Hammarby FF 25%. Fair-value odds: Gais 2.27 | Draw 3.23 | Hammarby FF 4.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 30% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.93. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 70% probability — total xG of 1.93 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Gais are the pick at 44% — marginal model lean. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gais offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 1.93 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 30% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 37% on No. This conflicts with form data: Gais 50% | Hammarby FF 70% from recent games — a notable divergence.
