Full Analysis
Kehrweg Stadium plays host to AS Eupen versus Excelsior Virton in Challenger Pro League, Regular Season - 9. Kick-off: Sunday 1 November 2026 at 18:15 UTC.
Current Form
AS Eupen's overall Challenger Pro League record this term: 6W 1D 3L from 10 games (1.90 PPG). Last five: W W W W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. AS Eupen have played only a handful of Challenger Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
AS Eupen at Kehrweg Stadium this season: 4W 4D 2L from 10 home games — 1.60 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Excelsior Virton (all games): 3W 1D 3L across 7 Challenger Pro League outings this term — 1.43 points per game. Last five: L W D L L. They are scoring at 1.71 per game and conceding 1.29. 3 clean sheets in 7 outings (43%) underlines their defensive solidity. Excelsior Virton have played only a handful of Challenger Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Excelsior Virton's form when playing away from home: 1W 1D 1L across 3 road games this term (1.33 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.33 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 67% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.90 vs 1.43 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — AS Eupen have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Excelsior Virton in 67%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.
Trading
AS Eupen half-time and goal-timing data (7 games, 3 at home): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 71% of games.
Excelsior Virton half-time and goal-timing data (7 games, 3 at away): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures; they lead at the break 57% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — AS Eupen 71% versus Excelsior Virton 43%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (AS Eupen 71% | Excelsior Virton 57%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects AS Eupen 2.23 xG and Excelsior Virton 1.11 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: AS Eupen attack 1.149 / defence 1.051 | Excelsior Virton attack 0.801 / defence 1.135. League average goals — home 1.707 / away 1.319. Data: 39 AS Eupen games / 7 Excelsior Virton games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: AS Eupen 63% | Draw 20% | Excelsior Virton 18%. Fair-value odds: AS Eupen 1.59 | Draw 5.00 | Excelsior Virton 5.56. The model has a clear lean to AS Eupen (63%) — a 45pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 3.34. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.34 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 60% reflects that both xG figures (2.23 / 1.11) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates AS Eupen as the most likely outcome at 63% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.34 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 65% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: AS Eupen 60% | Excelsior Virton 67% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Excelsior Virton beat AS Eupen 1-2 at Kehrweg Stadium, Regular Season - 9, in the Challenger Pro League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting AS Eupen 2.23 xG and Excelsior Virton 1.11 xG, a combined 3.34. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. AS Eupen fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Excelsior Virton outscored their 1.11 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of AS Eupen attack 1.15 / defence 1.05 against Excelsior Virton attack 0.80 / defence 1.14, drawn from 39/7 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it AS Eupen 63% | Draw 20% | Excelsior Virton 18%, with AS Eupen to win its most likely call at 63%. Instead the game produced a Excelsior Virton win, an outcome the model had rated at just 18% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 65%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 85% and landed. Over 3.5 was 43% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (AS Eupen 71%, Excelsior Virton 57%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Verdict
