In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Atlético Ottawa have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, York United in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Trading

Atlético Ottawa half-time and goal-timing data (24 games, 12 at home): they score before half-time in 58% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 38% of games.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Atlético Ottawa 1.52 xG and York United 1.62 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: Atlético Ottawa attack 0.960 / defence 1.393 | York United attack 1.039 / defence 1.475. League average goals — home 1.073 / away 1.122. York United bring a strong defensive rating of 1.475 — this is suppressing Atlético Ottawa's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 26 Atlético Ottawa games / 24 York United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Atlético Ottawa 34% | Draw 27% | York United 39%. Fair-value odds: Atlético Ottawa 2.94 | Draw 3.70 | York United 2.56. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 65% | Total xG 3.14. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.14 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% reflects that both xG figures (1.52 / 1.62) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is York United at 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on York United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.14 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 61% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 65% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Atlético Ottawa 70% | York United 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
