Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Longford Town 0.80 xG and St Patrick's Athl. 1.40 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: Longford Town attack 0.712 / defence 1.196 | St Patrick's Athl. attack 0.887 / defence 1.231. League average goals — home 0.908 / away 1.315. Longford Town's attack rating of 0.712 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.80. St Patrick's Athl.'s defence rating of 1.231 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Longford Town's projected output up. Data: built from Longford Town's last 14 games and St Patrick's Athl.'s last 14.
Result probabilities: Longford Town 20% | Draw 29% | St Patrick's Athl. 50%. Fair-value odds: Longford Town 4.89 | Draw 3.41 | St Patrick's Athl. 1.99. St Patrick's Athl. hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS Yes probability 42% | Total xG 2.19. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.19 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 58% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, St Patrick's Athl. are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on St Patrick's Athl. if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.19 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 63% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
