Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lommel United 1.01 xG and Union St. Gilloise 1.29 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 0.706 | Union St. Gilloise attack 1.366 / defence 0.670. League average goals — home 1.802 / away 1.343. Union St. Gilloise's defence strength of 0.670 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Union St. Gilloise have an above-average attack strength of 1.366 — the away xG of 1.29 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Lommel United's defence rating of 0.706 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 10 Lommel United games / 40 Union St. Gilloise games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Lommel United 29% | Draw 28% | Union St. Gilloise 43%. Fair-value odds: Lommel United 3.45 | Draw 3.57 | Union St. Gilloise 2.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.31. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.31 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% 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 Union St. Gilloise at 43% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Union St. Gilloise if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.31 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 41% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 2.9 goals per game points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 46% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Lommel United 30% | Union St. Gilloise 50% BTTS from recent games.
