Trading

Orebro SK half-time and goal-timing data (last 49 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 47% of the time; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 36%; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 36% of games (home games); they fail to score in 37% of games.

Vasteras SK FK half-time and goal-timing data (last 49 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; they lead at the break 49% of the time; of the 24 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Orebro SK 45% versus Vasteras SK FK 55%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Orebro SK 47% | Vasteras SK FK 59%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Orebro SK 1.15 xG and Vasteras SK FK 0.87 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: Orebro SK attack 0.838 / defence 0.614 | Vasteras SK FK attack 1.190 / defence 0.924. League average goals — home 1.478 / away 1.192. Orebro SK have a tight defence (rating 0.614), which is pulling Vasteras SK FK's projected output down. Data: built from Orebro SK's last 49 games and Vasteras SK FK's last 49.

Result probabilities: Orebro SK 41% | Draw 32% | Vasteras SK FK 27%. Fair-value odds: Orebro SK 2.44 | Draw 3.08 | Vasteras SK FK 3.75. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 33% | BTTS Yes probability 41% | Total xG 2.02. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 67% probability — total xG of 2.02 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 59% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Orebro SK at 41% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Vasteras SK FK (2.50 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 32% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Orebro SK if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.02 combined xG gives a 67% probability to Under 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Orebro SK's last 10 home games and Vasteras SK FK's last 10 away games) averaging 2.2 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging 4.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 59%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Orebro SK 20% (last 10 home games) | Vasteras SK FK 50% (last 10 away games).
