Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Varbergs BoIS FC 1.44 xG and IK brage 1.20 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: Varbergs BoIS FC attack 0.902 / defence 0.946 | IK brage attack 1.056 / defence 1.039. League average goals — home 1.537 / away 1.196.

Result probabilities: Varbergs BoIS FC 42% | Draw 27% | IK brage 31%. Fair-value odds: Varbergs BoIS FC 2.38 | Draw 3.70 | IK brage 3.23. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.64. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.64 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.
