Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Waalwijk 2.65 xG and FC OSS 1.22 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: Waalwijk attack 1.342 / defence 1.047 | FC OSS attack 0.734 / defence 1.020. League average goals — home 1.933 / away 1.581. Waalwijk carry an above-average attack strength of 1.342 — their λ of 2.65 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 45 Waalwijk games / 45 FC OSS games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Waalwijk 68% | Draw 17% | FC OSS 15%. Fair-value odds: Waalwijk 1.47 | Draw 5.88 | FC OSS 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Waalwijk (68%) — a 53pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 74% | BTTS probability 65% | Total xG 3.86. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 74% — a total xG of 3.86 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 65% reflects that both xG figures (2.65 / 1.22) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Waalwijk as the most likely outcome at 68% — clear model lean.

The Poisson model projects 3.86 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 74% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 65% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Waalwijk 80% | FC OSS 70% BTTS from recent games.
