Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lommel United 1.60 xG and K. Lierse S.K. 1.47 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: Lommel United attack 1.048 / defence 1.114 | K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.790 / defence 1.360. League average goals — home 1.123 / away 1.669. K. Lierse S.K. bring a strong defensive rating of 1.360 — this is suppressing Lommel United's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 17 Lommel United games / 17 K.

Result probabilities: Lommel United 38% | Draw 30% | K. Lierse S.K. 32%. Fair-value odds: Lommel United 2.63 | Draw 3.33 | K. Lierse S.K. 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 65% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% reflects that both xG figures (1.60 / 1.47) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Lommel United at 38% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Lommel United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.07 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 65% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Lommel United 75% | K. Lierse S.K. 89% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% 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.
