Trading

Patro Eisden half-time and goal-timing data (last 53 games, 27 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 78% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 53% of the time; of the 23 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 30%; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Patro Eisden 47% versus SK Beveren 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Patro Eisden 55% | SK Beveren 53%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Patro Eisden 1.80 xG and SK Beveren 1.12 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: Patro Eisden attack 1.266 / defence 0.883 | SK Beveren attack 0.935 / defence 1.025. League average goals — home 1.385 / away 1.357. Patro Eisden carry an above-average attack rating of 1.266 — their 1.80 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Patro Eisden's last 53 games and SK Beveren's last 53.

Result probabilities: Patro Eisden 53% | Draw 23% | SK Beveren 24%. Fair-value odds: Patro Eisden 1.88 | Draw 4.31 | SK Beveren 4.23. Patro Eisden hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 56% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Patro Eisden at 53% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Patro Eisden if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.92 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Patro Eisden's last 10 home games and SK Beveren's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Patro Eisden 60% (last 10 home games) | SK Beveren 30% (last 10 away games).
