Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects K. Lierse S.K. 1.48 xG and Club Brugge II 1.14 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: K. Lierse S.K. attack 1.123 / defence 0.925 | Club Brugge II attack 0.903 / defence 0.935. League average goals — home 1.405 / away 1.361. Data: built from K. Lierse S.K.'s last 46 games and Club Brugge II's last 46.

Result probabilities: K. Lierse S.K. 45% | Draw 26% | Club Brugge II 29%. Fair-value odds: K. Lierse S.K. 2.22 | Draw 3.86 | Club Brugge II 3.43. K. Lierse S.K. hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, K. Lierse S.K. are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on K. Lierse S.K. offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.61 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 52% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.1 goals per game across 7 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 52%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: K. Lierse S.K. 60% (last 10 home games) | Club Brugge II 80% (last 10 away games).
