Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Universidad de Chile 1.35 xG and Curico Unido 1.19 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 0.933 / defence 1.204 | Curico Unido attack 0.811 / defence 1.133. League average goals — home 1.274 / away 1.217. Data: 50 Universidad de Chile games / 50 Curico Unido games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Universidad de Chile 40% | Draw 27% | Curico Unido 33%. Fair-value odds: Universidad de Chile 2.50 | Draw 3.70 | Curico Unido 3.03. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.54. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.54 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Universidad de Chile are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Universidad de Chile offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.54 combined xG gives a 47% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 3.2 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Universidad de Chile 50% | Curico Unido 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
