Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Athletic Club 1.77 xG and Deportivo La Coruna 1.15 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: Athletic Club attack 0.886 / defence 0.872 | Deportivo La Coruna attack 1.033 / defence 1.213. League average goals — home 1.648 / away 1.274. Deportivo La Coruna bring a strong defensive rating of 1.213 — this is suppressing Athletic Club's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 46 Athletic Club games / 9 Deportivo La Coruna games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Athletic Club 50% | Draw 26% | Deportivo La Coruna 23%. Fair-value odds: Athletic Club 2.00 | Draw 3.85 | Deportivo La Coruna 4.35. Athletic Club hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Athletic Club as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Athletic Club offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.92 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates corroborate: Athletic Club 50% | Deportivo La Coruna 100% BTTS from recent games.
