Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lommel United 1.13 xG and Francs Borains 1.33 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: Lommel United attack 0.775 / defence 1.053 | Francs Borains attack 0.938 / defence 1.053. League average goals — home 1.382 / away 1.347. Lommel United's attack rating of 0.775 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.13. Data: built from Lommel United's last 47 games and Francs Borains's last 48.

Result probabilities: Lommel United 32% | Draw 27% | Francs Borains 41%. Fair-value odds: Lommel United 3.17 | Draw 3.69 | Francs Borains 2.42. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 2.46. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.46 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Francs Borains as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Francs Borains if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.46 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 56% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 50% on No. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Lommel United 70% (last 10 home games) | Francs Borains 50% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
