Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Casa Pia 0.79 xG and Sporting CP 2.60 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: Casa Pia attack 0.672 / defence 1.439 | Sporting CP attack 1.437 / defence 0.881. League average goals — home 1.337 / away 1.260. Casa Pia's attack strength of 0.672 is below the league average — the 0.79 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Sporting CP have an above-average attack strength of 1.437 — the away xG of 2.60 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 38 Casa Pia games / 38 Sporting CP games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Casa Pia 9% | Draw 15% | Sporting CP 76%. Fair-value odds: Casa Pia 11.11 | Draw 6.67 | Sporting CP 1.32. The model has a clear lean to Sporting CP (76%) — a 67pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 3.40. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.40 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 probability of 51% 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 Sporting CP at 76% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.40 combined xG gives a 66% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.1 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 51%. Form rates corroborate: Casa Pia 40% | Sporting CP 70% BTTS from recent games.
