Trading & In-Play
Beerschot VA — key trading statistics (last 3 games): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 100% of their matches; BTTS occurs in 100% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 100% of games.
Francs Borains — key trading statistics (last 3 games): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games; Over 3.5 in 67%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Beerschot VA 100% and Francs Borains 67% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Beerschot VA 100% | Francs Borains 67%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Beerschot VA 1.46 xG and Francs Borains 1.48 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: Beerschot VA attack 1.001 / defence 0.993 | Francs Borains attack 1.041 / defence 1.112. League average goals — home 1.314 / away 1.431. Data: built from Beerschot VA's last 24 games and Francs Borains's last 3. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.
Result probabilities: Beerschot VA 37% | Draw 25% | Francs Borains 38%. Fair-value odds: Beerschot VA 2.68 | Draw 4.07 | Francs Borains 2.63. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 59% | Total xG 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. 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.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Francs Borains as the most likely outcome at 38% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Francs Borains if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 37% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.94 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 56% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Beerschot VA's last 10 home games and Francs Borains's last 3 games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 59% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Beerschot VA 40% (last 10 home games) | Francs Borains 67% (last 3 games).
The Poisson model's sample (Beerschot VA 24 games, Francs Borains 3) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
