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: Patro Eisden attack 1.266 / defence 0.883 | SK Beveren attack 0.935 / defence 1.025. League average goals — home 1.385 / away 1.357. Patro Eisden carry an above-average attack strength of 1.266 — their λ of 1.80 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 53 Patro Eisden games / 53 SK Beveren games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Patro Eisden 53% | Draw 23% | SK Beveren 24%. Fair-value odds: Patro Eisden 1.89 | Draw 4.35 | SK Beveren 4.17. Patro Eisden hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 56% 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 Patro Eisden at 53% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Patro Eisden if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.92 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — marginal — conflicting signals, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.3 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. Form rates are neutral: Patro Eisden 60% | SK Beveren 30%.
