Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects RED Star FC 93 1.63 xG and Sochaux 1.08 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: RED Star FC 93 attack 1.035 / defence 1.009 | Sochaux attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.369 / away 1.258. Data: 33 RED Star FC 93 games / 0 Sochaux games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: RED Star FC 93 49% | Draw 28% | Sochaux 24%. Fair-value odds: RED Star FC 93 2.04 | Draw 3.57 | Sochaux 4.17. RED Star FC 93 hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.71. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.71 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
