Head to Head

Charleroi have tended to come out on top in this fixture, winning 4 of the last 4 encounters against KVC Westerlo's 0 victories.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects KVC Westerlo 1.82 xG and Charleroi 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: KVC Westerlo attack 1.168 / defence 1.184 | Charleroi attack 1.085 / defence 1.062. League average goals — home 1.471 / away 1.113. Data: 60 KVC Westerlo games / 60 Charleroi games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: KVC Westerlo 45% | Draw 26% | Charleroi 29%. Fair-value odds: KVC Westerlo 2.22 | Draw 3.85 | Charleroi 3.45. KVC Westerlo hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.25. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.25 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 66% reflects that both xG figures (1.82 / 1.43) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, KVC Westerlo are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on KVC Westerlo offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.25 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 63% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 66%. Form rates corroborate: KVC Westerlo 70% | Charleroi 50% BTTS from recent games.
