Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects RSC Anderlecht II 1.46 xG and Francs Borains 1.35 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: RSC Anderlecht II attack 0.865 / defence 1.002 | Francs Borains attack 0.957 / defence 1.311. League average goals — home 1.287 / away 1.407. Francs Borains's defence rating of 1.311 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing RSC Anderlecht II's projected output up. Data: built from RSC Anderlecht II's last 48 games and Francs Borains's last 26.

Result probabilities: RSC Anderlecht II 40% | Draw 25% | Francs Borains 35%. Fair-value odds: RSC Anderlecht II 2.51 | Draw 3.97 | Francs Borains 2.87. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 2.81. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.81 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is RSC Anderlecht II at 40% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Francs Borains (1.60 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on RSC Anderlecht II offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.81 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 53% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 home games and Francs Borains's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: RSC Anderlecht II 60% (last 10 home games) | Francs Borains 50% (last 10 away games).
