Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Larisa 0.78 xG and AEK Athens FC 1.23 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: Larisa attack 0.814 / defence 1.122 | AEK Athens FC attack 0.993 / defence 0.795. League average goals — home 1.206 / away 1.100. AEK Athens FC's defence strength of 0.795 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 3 Larisa games / 29 AEK Athens FC games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Larisa 24% | Draw 30% | AEK Athens FC 47%. Fair-value odds: Larisa 4.17 | Draw 3.33 | AEK Athens FC 2.13. AEK Athens FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 38% | Total xG 2.01. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 2.01 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 38% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates AEK Athens FC as the most likely outcome at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on AEK Athens FC if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.01 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 32% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 38% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Larisa 67% | AEK Athens FC 30%.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (3 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
