Form & Momentum

IK brage have collected 1.50 PPG across 10 Superettan outings this season: 4W 3D 3L. Last five: W L D W D. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for IK brage, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home they are averaging 0.86 goals scored and 1.29 conceded per game. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.00 lags behind their overall 1.50 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at Borlänge Energi Arena Domnarvsvallen this season.

Vasteras SK FK (all games): 2W 2D 6L across 10 Superettan outings this term — 0.80 points per game. Last five: L L W L L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Vasteras SK FK, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Vasteras SK FK away from home this season: 1W 1D 5L from 7 away games — 0.57 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.57 goals scored and 1.43 conceded per game.

Form favours the hosts. IK brage's 1.50 PPG return is 0.70 points per game ahead of Vasteras SK FK's 0.80 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects IK brage 1.18 xG and Vasteras SK FK 0.89 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: IK brage attack 0.835 / defence 1.285 | Vasteras SK FK attack 0.664 / defence 1.242. League average goals — home 1.135 / away 1.042. Vasteras SK FK bring a strong defensive rating of 1.242 — this is suppressing IK brage's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 16 IK brage games / 16 Vasteras SK FK games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: IK brage 42% | Draw 30% | Vasteras SK FK 28%. Fair-value odds: IK brage 2.38 | Draw 3.33 | Vasteras SK FK 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 34% | BTTS probability 41% | Total xG 2.07. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 66% probability — total xG of 2.07 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 41% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is IK brage at 42% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on IK brage if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.07 combined xG gives a 34% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 41%. Form rates corroborate: IK brage 43% | Vasteras SK FK 43% BTTS from recent games.
