H2H Record

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects AFC Eskilstuna 1.38 xG and Orgryte IS 1.28 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: AFC Eskilstuna attack 1.024 / defence 0.952 | Orgryte IS attack 1.009 / defence 0.976. League average goals — home 1.376 / away 1.330. Data: 31 AFC Eskilstuna games / 31 Orgryte IS games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: AFC Eskilstuna 39% | Draw 26% | Orgryte IS 35%. Fair-value odds: AFC Eskilstuna 2.56 | Draw 3.85 | Orgryte IS 2.86. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.65. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.65 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, AFC Eskilstuna are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on AFC Eskilstuna offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.65 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 50% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates corroborate: AFC Eskilstuna 50% | Orgryte IS 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% 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. The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (31 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
