Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Union St. Gilloise 2.23 xG and St. Truiden 0.94 xG.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 3.17. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.17 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
