Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Notts County 1.26 xG and Swindon Town 1.21 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: Notts County attack 1.080 / defence 0.874 | Swindon Town attack 1.120 / defence 0.901. League average goals — home 1.294 / away 1.239. Data: 72 Notts County games / 72 Swindon Town games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Notts County 37% | Draw 27% | Swindon Town 35%. Fair-value odds: Notts County 2.70 | Draw 3.70 | Swindon Town 2.86. 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 45% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.47. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.47 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Notts County at 37% — marginal model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Notts County offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.47 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 45% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 3.2 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 50% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Notts County 40% | Swindon Town 50%.

The outsider holds a 35% 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.
