Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects RAAL La Louvière 2.60 xG and KRC Genk II 1.08 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: RAAL La Louvière attack 1.313 / defence 0.884 | KRC Genk II attack 0.853 / defence 1.316. League average goals — home 1.505 / away 1.429. RAAL La Louvière carry an above-average attack strength of 1.313 — their λ of 2.60 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. KRC Genk II bring a strong defensive rating of 1.316 — this is suppressing RAAL La Louvière's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 13 RAAL La Louvière games / 43 KRC Genk II games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: RAAL La Louvière 70% | Draw 16% | KRC Genk II 14%. Fair-value odds: RAAL La Louvière 1.43 | Draw 6.25 | KRC Genk II 7.14. The model has a clear lean to RAAL La Louvière (70%) — a 56pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.68. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.68 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 61% reflects that both xG figures (2.60 / 1.08) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
