Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Feyenoord 2.10 xG and PSV Eindhoven 1.65 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: Feyenoord attack 1.240 / defence 0.748 | PSV Eindhoven attack 1.217 / defence 0.975. League average goals — home 1.739 / away 1.812. PSV Eindhoven have an above-average attack strength of 1.217 — the away xG of 1.65 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Feyenoord's defence rating of 0.748 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 43 Feyenoord games / 43 PSV Eindhoven games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Feyenoord 47% | Draw 23% | PSV Eindhoven 29%. Fair-value odds: Feyenoord 2.13 | Draw 4.35 | PSV Eindhoven 3.45. Feyenoord hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 72% | BTTS probability 72% | Total xG 3.75. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 72% — a total xG of 3.75 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 72% reflects that both xG figures (2.10 / 1.65) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Feyenoord are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Feyenoord if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.75 combined xG gives a 72% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 72%. Form rates corroborate: Feyenoord 70% | PSV Eindhoven 90% BTTS from recent games.
