H2H History

Across the last 6 meetings, Atletico-MG have the stronger historical record — 4 wins to Atletico Paranaense's 1, with 1 draws in the mix.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Atletico Paranaense 1.24 xG and Atletico-MG 1.04 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: Atletico Paranaense attack 0.906 / defence 1.149 | Atletico-MG attack 0.916 / defence 1.010. League average goals — home 1.349 / away 0.986. Data: 70 Atletico Paranaense games / 70 Atletico-MG games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Atletico Paranaense 41% | Draw 29% | Atletico-MG 31%. Fair-value odds: Atletico Paranaense 2.44 | Draw 3.45 | Atletico-MG 3.23. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.27. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.27 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Atletico Paranaense as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Atletico-MG (1.20 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Atletico Paranaense if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.27 combined xG gives a 40% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 46%. Form rates are neutral: Atletico Paranaense 60% | Atletico-MG 50%.

The outsider holds a 31% 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.
