Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Jong PSV U21 2.13 xG and Jong Ajax 1.36 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: Jong PSV U21 attack 0.971 / defence 0.897 | Jong Ajax attack 0.890 / defence 1.236. League average goals — home 1.775 / away 1.707. Jong Ajax bring a strong defensive rating of 1.236 — this is suppressing Jong PSV U21's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 42 Jong PSV U21 games / 42 Jong Ajax games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Jong PSV U21 55% | Draw 21% | Jong Ajax 24%. Fair-value odds: Jong PSV U21 1.82 | Draw 4.76 | Jong Ajax 4.17. The model has a clear lean to Jong PSV U21 (55%) — a 31pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.49. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.49 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 66% reflects that both xG figures (2.13 / 1.36) 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 Jong PSV U21 at 55% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.49 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 68% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.9 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 66% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Jong PSV U21 50% | Jong Ajax 50%.
