Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects IFK Norrkoping 1.44 xG and Varbergs BoIS FC 1.89 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: IFK Norrkoping attack 1.093 / defence 0.960 | Varbergs BoIS FC attack 1.345 / defence 0.923. League average goals — home 1.424 / away 1.466. Varbergs BoIS FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.345 — the away xG of 1.89 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 11 IFK Norrkoping games / 41 Varbergs BoIS FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: IFK Norrkoping 29% | Draw 22% | Varbergs BoIS FC 48%. Fair-value odds: IFK Norrkoping 3.45 | Draw 4.55 | Varbergs BoIS FC 2.08. Varbergs BoIS FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 65% | Total xG 3.33. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.33 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 65% reflects that both xG figures (1.44 / 1.89) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
