Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects RAAL La Louvière 0.96 xG and Union St. Gilloise 1.51 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 0.685 / defence 1.069 | Union St. Gilloise attack 1.223 / defence 0.934. League average goals — home 1.504 / away 1.157. RAAL La Louvière's attack strength of 0.685 is below the league average — the 0.96 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Union St. Gilloise have an above-average attack strength of 1.223 — the away xG of 1.51 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road.

Result probabilities: RAAL La Louvière 21% | Draw 31% | Union St. Gilloise 47%. Fair-value odds: RAAL La Louvière 4.76 | Draw 3.23 | Union St. Gilloise 2.13. Union St. Gilloise hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
