Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Annecy 1.19 xG and RED Star FC 93 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: Annecy attack 1.109 / defence 0.816 | RED Star FC 93 attack 0.984 / defence 0.892. League average goals — home 1.201 / away 1.274. Data: 39 Annecy games / 38 RED Star FC 93 games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Annecy 37% | Draw 35% | RED Star FC 93 28%. Fair-value odds: Annecy 2.70 | Draw 2.86 | RED Star FC 93 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 35% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 38% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.21. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 62% — total xG of 2.21 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Annecy at 37% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 35% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Annecy if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.21 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 38% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by H2H averaging 1.5 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. This conflicts with form data: Annecy 70% | RED Star FC 93 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.
