Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Vasteras SK FK 1.65 xG and Gefle IF 0.53 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: Vasteras SK FK attack 1.018 / defence 0.629 | Gefle IF attack 0.753 / defence 1.131. League average goals — home 1.431 / away 1.120. Vasteras SK FK's defence rating of 0.629 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 45 Vasteras SK FK games / 15 Gefle IF games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Vasteras SK FK 64% | Draw 24% | Gefle IF 11%. Fair-value odds: Vasteras SK FK 1.56 | Draw 4.17 | Gefle IF 9.09. The model has a clear lean to Vasteras SK FK (64%) — a 53pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS probability 34% | Total xG 2.18. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.18 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No has firm model support at 66% — Gefle IF's lower xG of 0.53 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 34%.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Vasteras SK FK as the most likely outcome at 64% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 2.18 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 37% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 34% on No. Form rates corroborate: Vasteras SK FK 30% | Gefle IF 57% BTTS from recent games.
