Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Francs Borains 1.03 xG and AS Eupen 1.83 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: Francs Borains attack 0.714 / defence 1.146 | AS Eupen attack 1.127 / defence 0.955. League average goals — home 1.518 / away 1.415. Francs Borains's attack strength of 0.714 is below the league average — the 1.03 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 43 Francs Borains games / 13 AS Eupen games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Francs Borains 21% | Draw 23% | AS Eupen 56%. Fair-value odds: Francs Borains 4.76 | Draw 4.35 | AS Eupen 1.79. The model has a clear lean to AS Eupen (56%) — a 35pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.86. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.86 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is AS Eupen at 56% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.86 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates corroborate: Francs Borains 70% | AS Eupen 50% BTTS from recent games.
