Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lommel United 0.90 xG and RAAL La Louvière 1.43 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 0.787 / defence 1.092 | RAAL La Louvière attack 1.057 / defence 0.825. League average goals — home 1.381 / away 1.237. Lommel United's attack strength of 0.787 is below the league average — the 0.90 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 58 Lommel United games / 28 RAAL La Louvière games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Lommel United 24% | Draw 27% | RAAL La Louvière 49%. Fair-value odds: Lommel United 4.17 | Draw 3.70 | RAAL La Louvière 2.04. RAAL La Louvière hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.33. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.33 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is RAAL La Louvière at 49% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on RAAL La Louvière offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.33 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 41% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 45%. This conflicts with form data: Lommel United 60% | RAAL La Louvière 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.
