Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wolfsberger AC 1.27 xG and Lask Linz 1.54 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: Wolfsberger AC attack 0.962 / defence 1.087 | Lask Linz attack 1.226 / defence 0.866. League average goals — home 1.530 / away 1.153. Lask Linz have an above-average attack strength of 1.226 — the away xG of 1.54 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 37 Wolfsberger AC games / 37 Lask Linz games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Wolfsberger AC 31% | Draw 26% | Lask Linz 43%. Fair-value odds: Wolfsberger AC 3.23 | Draw 3.85 | Lask Linz 2.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.81. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.81 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Lask Linz as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Lask Linz offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.81 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 53% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 57%. Form rates corroborate: Wolfsberger AC 70% | Lask Linz 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% 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.
