Their scoring rate of 0.30 per game is modest, conceding 2.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.20 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gnistan 2.22 xG and Mariehamn 0.80 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: Gnistan attack 1.144 / defence 1.071 | Mariehamn attack 0.643 / defence 1.281. League average goals — home 1.515 / away 1.159. Mariehamn bring a strong defensive rating of 1.281 — this is suppressing Gnistan's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 36 Gnistan games / 36 Mariehamn games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gnistan 68% | Draw 21% | Mariehamn 11%. Fair-value odds: Gnistan 1.47 | Draw 4.76 | Mariehamn 9.09. The model has a clear lean to Gnistan (68%) — a 57pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 3.02. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.02 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Gnistan are the pick at 68% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.02 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 58% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.1 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. Form rates corroborate: Gnistan 60% | Mariehamn 50% BTTS from recent games.
