Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Universidad de Chile 0.93 xG and Curico Unido 1.30 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: Universidad de Chile attack 0.770 / defence 1.197 | Curico Unido attack 0.856 / defence 1.156. League average goals — home 1.047 / away 1.271. Universidad de Chile's attack strength of 0.770 is below the league average — the 0.93 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 26 Universidad de Chile games / 26 Curico Unido games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Universidad de Chile 26% | Draw 30% | Curico Unido 44%. Fair-value odds: Universidad de Chile 3.85 | Draw 3.33 | Curico Unido 2.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.23. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.23 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Curico Unido are the pick at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Curico Unido offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.23 combined xG gives a 39% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 45% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Universidad de Chile 50% | Curico Unido 50%.
