Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Laval 1.66 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: Laval attack 1.085 / defence 1.059 | RED Star FC 93 attack 0.940 / defence 1.146. League average goals — home 1.336 / away 1.026. Data: 55 Laval games / 17 RED Star FC 93 games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Laval 52% | Draw 25% | RED Star FC 93 23%. Fair-value odds: Laval 1.92 | Draw 4.00 | RED Star FC 93 4.35. Laval hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.68. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.68 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Laval are the pick at 52% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Laval offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.68 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 50% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 52%. Form rates are neutral: Laval 60% | RED Star FC 93 44%.
