Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Beerschot VA 3.06 xG and RSC Anderlecht II 1.31 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: Beerschot VA attack 1.565 / defence 0.863 | RSC Anderlecht II attack 1.141 / defence 1.164. League average goals — home 1.682 / away 1.330. Beerschot VA carry an above-average attack rating of 1.565 — their 3.06 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Beerschot VA's last 42 games and RSC Anderlecht II's last 41.

Result probabilities: Beerschot VA 72% | Draw 14% | RSC Anderlecht II 13%. Fair-value odds: Beerschot VA 1.38 | Draw 6.98 | RSC Anderlecht II 7.59. The model has a clear lean to Beerschot VA (72%) — a 58pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 81% | BTTS Yes probability 70% | Total xG 4.37. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 81% — a total xG of 4.37 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 70% — both xG figures (3.06 / 1.31) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Beerschot VA as the most likely outcome at 72% — clear model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection.

Poisson projects 4.37 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 81% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Beerschot VA's last 10 home games and RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 away games) averaging 4.3 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 70%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Beerschot VA 70% (last 10 home games) | RSC Anderlecht II 80% (last 10 away games).
