Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Accrington ST 1.24 xG and Bromley 1.02 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: Accrington ST attack 1.025 / defence 1.014 | Bromley attack 0.809 / defence 0.950. League average goals — home 1.270 / away 1.242. Data: 63 Accrington ST games / 17 Bromley games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Accrington ST 40% | Draw 30% | Bromley 30%. Fair-value odds: Accrington ST 2.50 | Draw 3.33 | Bromley 3.33. 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 46% | Total xG 2.26. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.26 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Accrington ST are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Accrington ST if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.26 combined xG gives a 39% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 46%. Form rates are neutral: Accrington ST 60% | Bromley 50%.
