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: FC Basel 1893 attack 1.175 / defence 0.887 | FC Luzern attack 1.164 / defence 1.021. League average goals — home 1.612 / away 1.246. Data: 54 FC Basel 1893 games / 54 FC Luzern games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC Basel 1893 51% | Draw 25% | FC Luzern 24%. Fair-value odds: FC Basel 1893 1.96 | Draw 4.00 | FC Luzern 4.17. FC Basel 1893 hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.22 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.93 / 1.29) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict
