Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Eindhoven 2.28 xG and Jong Utrecht 0.98 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: FC Eindhoven attack 0.992 / defence 1.150 | Jong Utrecht attack 0.664 / defence 1.395. League average goals — home 1.647 / away 1.279. Jong Utrecht bring a strong defensive rating of 1.395 — this is suppressing FC Eindhoven's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 64 FC Eindhoven games / 62 Jong Utrecht games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC Eindhoven 66% | Draw 19% | Jong Utrecht 14%. Fair-value odds: FC Eindhoven 1.52 | Draw 5.26 | Jong Utrecht 7.14. The model has a clear lean to FC Eindhoven (66%) — a 52pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 3.25. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.25 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates FC Eindhoven as the most likely outcome at 66% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.25 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 63% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.5 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 56% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: FC Eindhoven 40% | Jong Utrecht 50%.
