Form Guide

Lommel United — last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: D W D W D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

Lommel United's form when playing at home: 6W 1D 3L across their last 10 home games (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Across their last 10 games, Antwerp have recorded 2W 2D 6L — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L L W L D. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 2.30. Conceding 2.30 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Antwerp away from home: 3W 1D 6L from their last 10 away games — 1.00 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

On current form, Lommel United have the edge — a 0.70 PPG advantage (1.50 vs 0.80) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

Head to Head

The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 0 wins for Lommel United, 0 for Antwerp and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data have been high-scoring — 4.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 7 Nov 2026, ended Lommel United 2–2 Antwerp — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Data

Lommel United trading profile (last 49 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; of the 17 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 54%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

Antwerp trading profile (last 49 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 33% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (away games); they fail to score in 37% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Lommel United 57% versus Antwerp 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Lommel United 59% | Antwerp 51%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lommel United 1.77 xG and Antwerp 0.79 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 0.838 / defence 0.716 | Antwerp attack 0.814 / defence 1.195. League average goals — home 1.765 / away 1.356. Lommel United have a tight defence (rating 0.716), which is pulling Antwerp's projected output down. Data: built from Lommel United's last 11 games and Antwerp's last 41.

Result probabilities: Lommel United 61% | Draw 23% | Antwerp 16%. Fair-value odds: Lommel United 1.65 | Draw 4.35 | Antwerp 6.10. The model has a clear lean to Lommel United (61%) — a 38pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 45% | Total xG 2.56. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.56 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS No at 55% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Lommel United at 61% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.56 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 53% — low conviction — though recent form (Lommel United's last 10 home games and Antwerp's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on No. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Lommel United 30% (last 10 home games) | Antwerp 60% (last 10 away games).
