Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects ODD Ballklubb 2.24 xG and Haugesund 1.24 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: ODD Ballklubb attack 1.157 / defence 1.159 | Haugesund attack 0.916 / defence 1.248. League average goals — home 1.549 / away 1.163. Haugesund bring a strong defensive rating of 1.248 — this is suppressing ODD Ballklubb's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 36 ODD Ballklubb games / 36 Haugesund games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: ODD Ballklubb 60% | Draw 20% | Haugesund 20%. Fair-value odds: ODD Ballklubb 1.67 | Draw 5.00 | Haugesund 5.00. The model has a clear lean to ODD Ballklubb (60%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.47. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.47 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (2.24 / 1.24) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
