Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC OSS 1.32 xG and Almere City FC 2.03 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: FC OSS attack 0.957 / defence 1.016 | Almere City FC attack 1.178 / defence 0.779. League average goals — home 1.770 / away 1.698. Almere City FC's defence strength of 0.779 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 42 FC OSS games / 42 Almere City FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC OSS 25% | Draw 21% | Almere City FC 54%. Fair-value odds: FC OSS 4.00 | Draw 4.76 | Almere City FC 1.85. Almere City FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (21%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.35. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.35 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (1.32 / 2.03) 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 Almere City FC at 54% — moderate model lean.

Poisson projects 3.35 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 65% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.0 goals per meeting.
