Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Aris Thessalonikis 2.36 xG and Asteras Tripolis 1.09 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: Aris Thessalonikis attack 1.168 / defence 0.963 | Asteras Tripolis attack 1.099 / defence 1.258. League average goals — home 1.603 / away 1.034. Asteras Tripolis's defence rating of 1.258 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Aris Thessalonikis's projected output up. Data: built from Aris Thessalonikis's last 36 games and Asteras Tripolis's last 36.

Result probabilities: Aris Thessalonikis 63% | Draw 23% | Asteras Tripolis 14%. Fair-value odds: Aris Thessalonikis 1.58 | Draw 4.41 | Asteras Tripolis 7.13. The model has a clear lean to Aris Thessalonikis (63%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.45. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.45 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (2.36 / 1.09) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Aris Thessalonikis at 63% — clear model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.45 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Aris Thessalonikis's last 10 home games and Asteras Tripolis's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.9 goals per game across 10 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 62% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Aris Thessalonikis 50% (last 10 home games) | Asteras Tripolis 70% (last 10 away games).
