They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 0.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Nublense 1.44 xG and Deportes Iquique 0.99 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: Nublense attack 0.827 / defence 0.838 | Deportes Iquique attack 1.061 / defence 1.166. League average goals — home 1.490 / away 1.110. Data: built from Nublense's last 56 games and Deportes Iquique's last 26.

Result probabilities: Nublense 47% | Draw 27% | Deportes Iquique 26%. Fair-value odds: Nublense 2.11 | Draw 3.75 | Deportes Iquique 3.86. Nublense hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 48% | Total xG 2.42. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.42 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 52% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Nublense are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Nublense if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.42 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 56% — low conviction — though recent form (Nublense's last 10 home games and Deportes Iquique's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Nublense 30% (last 10 home games) | Deportes Iquique 80% (last 10 away games).
