Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stade Brestois 29 1.69 xG and Marseille 1.46 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: Stade Brestois 29 attack 0.951 / defence 0.934 | Marseille attack 1.306 / defence 1.186. League average goals — home 1.500 / away 1.199. Marseille have an above-average attack rating of 1.306, which lifts their away xG to 1.46. Data: built from Stade Brestois 29's last 56 games and Marseille's last 56.

Result probabilities: Stade Brestois 29 43% | Draw 23% | Marseille 33%. Fair-value odds: Stade Brestois 29 2.31 | Draw 4.26 | Marseille 3.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 23% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS Yes probability 63% | Total xG 3.15. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.15 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% — both xG figures (1.69 / 1.46) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Stade Brestois 29 as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Stade Brestois 29 offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.15 combined xG gives a 61% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Stade Brestois 29's last 10 home games and Marseille's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 9 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 63% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Stade Brestois 29 30% (last 10 home games) | Marseille 50% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
