Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kalamata 1.20 xG and AEK Athens FC 1.46 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: Kalamata attack 0.932 / defence 1.297 | AEK Athens FC attack 1.154 / defence 0.898. League average goals — home 1.439 / away 0.976. Data: 6 Kalamata games / 32 AEK Athens FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Kalamata 28% | Draw 32% | AEK Athens FC 40%. Fair-value odds: Kalamata 3.57 | Draw 3.12 | AEK Athens FC 2.50. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.67. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.67 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates AEK Athens FC as the most likely outcome at 40% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on AEK Athens FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. 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 2.67 combined xG gives a 50% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 57% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Kalamata 67% | AEK Athens FC 60% BTTS from recent games.
