Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects St. Truiden 1.12 xG and Club Brugge KV 1.84 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: St. Truiden attack 0.904 / defence 1.044 | Club Brugge KV attack 1.354 / defence 0.781. League average goals — home 1.582 / away 1.301. Club Brugge KV's defence strength of 0.781 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure.
