Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Colo Colo 2.62 xG and Deportes Limache 1.16 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: Colo Colo attack 1.298 / defence 0.849 | Deportes Limache attack 1.135 / defence 1.256. League average goals — home 1.609 / away 1.198. Colo Colo carry an above-average attack strength of 1.298 — their λ of 2.62 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Deportes Limache bring a strong defensive rating of 1.256 — this is suppressing Colo Colo's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 45 Colo Colo games / 45 Deportes Limache games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Colo Colo 69% | Draw 17% | Deportes Limache 15%. Fair-value odds: Colo Colo 1.45 | Draw 5.88 | Deportes Limache 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Colo Colo (69%) — a 54pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.78. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.78 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (2.62 / 1.16) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Colo Colo as the most likely outcome at 69% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

Poisson projects 3.78 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 73% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 64%. Form rates corroborate: Colo Colo 40% | Deportes Limache 70% BTTS from recent games.
