Form Guide

FF Jaro — last 10 games: 6W 0D 4L, averaging 1.80 points per game. Last five: L W L W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.70 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

At home, FF Jaro have gone 3W 2D 5L in their last 10 home games (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.10 lags behind their overall 1.80 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Lahti stand at 2W 5D 3L — 1.10 PPG. Last five: L D D L W. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

On the road, Lahti have gone 0W 5D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.50 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

On current form, FF Jaro have the edge — a 0.70 PPG advantage (1.80 vs 1.10) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 2 H2H matches, FF Jaro have won 1, Lahti 1, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 2 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.5 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 27 Oct 2024, ended FF Jaro 0–1 Lahti — a Lahti win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.5 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

In-Play Data

FF Jaro trading profile (last 29 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 53% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games).

Lahti trading profile (last 29 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (away games); they fail to score in 45% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — FF Jaro 62% versus Lahti 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (FF Jaro 62% | Lahti 59%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FF Jaro 1.81 xG and Lahti 1.12 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: FF Jaro attack 0.952 / defence 1.058 | Lahti attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.655 / away 1.251. Data: built from FF Jaro's last 22 games and Lahti's last 0. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: FF Jaro 50% | Draw 29% | Lahti 20%. Fair-value odds: FF Jaro 1.99 | Draw 3.41 | Lahti 4.91. FF Jaro hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.81 / 1.12) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, FF Jaro are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on FF Jaro offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.94 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (FF Jaro's last 10 home games and Lahti's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 60%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FF Jaro 80% (last 10 home games) | Lahti 50% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (FF Jaro 22 games, Lahti 0) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
