Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Union La Calera 1.44 xG and A. Italiano 1.61 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: Union La Calera attack 1.048 / defence 1.280 | A. Italiano attack 1.030 / defence 0.919. League average goals — home 1.492 / away 1.221. Data: 52 Union La Calera games / 52 A. Italiano games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Union La Calera 34% | Draw 24% | A. Italiano 42%. Fair-value odds: Union La Calera 2.94 | Draw 4.17 | A. Italiano 2.38. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.05. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.05 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.44 / 1.61) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates A. Italiano as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on A. Italiano offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.05 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Union La Calera 70% | A. Italiano 40% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 34% 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.
