Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 4 H2H matches, Kalmar FF have won 1, Vasteras SK FK 2, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.5 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 14 Sep 2025, ended Kalmar FF 2–1 Vasteras SK FK — a Kalmar FF win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kalmar FF 1.48 xG and Vasteras SK FK 1.38 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: Kalmar FF attack 0.850 / defence 1.150 | Vasteras SK FK attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.511 / away 1.415. Data: built from Kalmar FF's last 0 games and Vasteras SK FK's last 0. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Kalmar FF 38% | Draw 27% | Vasteras SK FK 34%. Fair-value odds: Kalmar FF 2.60 | Draw 3.65 | Vasteras SK FK 2.92. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS Yes probability 59% | Total xG 2.86. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.86 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 59% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Kalmar FF at 38% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Kalmar FF offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. 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 2.86 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 54% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Kalmar FF's last 10 home games and Vasteras SK FK's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.5 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 59% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Kalmar FF 50% (last 10 home games) | Vasteras SK FK 50% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Kalmar FF 0 games, Vasteras SK FK 0) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
