Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stockport County 1.62 xG and Leyton Orient 1.56 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: Stockport County attack 1.243 / defence 0.931 | Leyton Orient attack 1.385 / defence 0.989. League average goals — home 1.314 / away 1.214. Leyton Orient have an above-average attack strength of 1.385 — the away xG of 1.56 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 46 Stockport County games / 92 Leyton Orient games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Stockport County 39% | Draw 25% | Leyton Orient 37%. Fair-value odds: Stockport County 2.56 | Draw 4.00 | Leyton Orient 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.18. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.18 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (1.62 / 1.56) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Stockport County as the most likely outcome at 39% — marginal model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Stockport County offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 37% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.18 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 62% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 64%. Form rates corroborate: Stockport County 60% | Leyton Orient 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 37% 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.
