Sudtirol — last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L, averaging 1.20 points per game. Last five: W L D W D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Sudtirol's home record over their last 10 home games: 3W 1D 6L (1.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.

Across their last 10 games, Lecco have recorded 1W 2D 7L — 0.50 PPG. Last five: L L L D L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 2.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.60 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Lecco have gone 1W 4D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Sudtirol carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.70 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.20 vs 0.50. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

Head to Head

The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 0 wins for Sudtirol, 1 for Lecco and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 1 H2H match in our data have been high-scoring — 3.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 26 Dec 2023, ended Sudtirol 1–2 Lecco — a Lecco win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Sudtirol in-play and half-time data (last 27 games, 13 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 54% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

Lecco in-play and half-time data (last 27 games, 13 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 85% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; of the 7 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 57%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); they fail to score in 41% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Sudtirol 63% versus Lecco 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sudtirol 52% | Lecco 59%). Note also that Lecco surrender HT leads in 57% of cases while Sudtirol recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 50% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sudtirol 1.46 xG and Lecco 1.03 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: Sudtirol attack 0.798 / defence 1.064 | Lecco attack 0.791 / defence 1.434. League average goals — home 1.278 / away 1.227. Sudtirol's attack rating of 0.798 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.46. Lecco's defence rating of 1.434 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Sudtirol's projected output up. Lecco's attack rating of 0.791 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.03. Data: built from Sudtirol's last 65 games and Lecco's last 27.

Result probabilities: Sudtirol 45% | Draw 30% | Lecco 25%. Fair-value odds: Sudtirol 2.22 | Draw 3.32 | Lecco 4.03. Sudtirol hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.50. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.50 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

The Poisson model projects 2.50 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 54% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Sudtirol 40% (last 10 home games) | Lecco 60% (last 10 away games).
