Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Universidad de Concepcion 1.02 xG and O'Higgins 1.55 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 Concepcion attack 0.639 / defence 1.002 | O'Higgins attack 1.143 / defence 1.000. League average goals — home 1.591 / away 1.353. Universidad de Concepcion's attack strength of 0.639 is below the league average — the 1.02 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 20 Universidad de Concepcion games / 51 O'Higgins games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Universidad de Concepcion 25% | Draw 25% | O'Higgins 50%. Fair-value odds: Universidad de Concepcion 4.00 | Draw 4.00 | O'Higgins 2.00. O'Higgins hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.57. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.57 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is O'Higgins at 50% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on O'Higgins if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.57 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 47% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 50% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Universidad de Concepcion 30% | O'Higgins 70%.
