Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stromsgodset 1.08 xG and Kristiansund BK 1.12 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: Stromsgodset attack 0.796 / defence 0.866 | Kristiansund BK attack 0.843 / defence 1.067. League average goals — home 1.270 / away 1.530. Stromsgodset's attack strength of 0.796 is below the league average — the 1.08 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 5 Stromsgodset games / 5 Kristiansund BK games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Stromsgodset 34% | Draw 29% | Kristiansund BK 36%. Fair-value odds: Stromsgodset 2.94 | Draw 3.45 | Kristiansund BK 2.78. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 38% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.20. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 62% — total xG of 2.20 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 44% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Kristiansund BK at 36% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Kristiansund BK if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.20 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 38% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 44% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Stromsgodset 60% | Kristiansund BK 67% from recent games — a notable divergence.

The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
