Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Djurgardens IF 1.34 xG and IFK Norrkoping 1.16 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: Djurgardens IF attack 0.940 / defence 0.940 | IFK Norrkoping attack 0.999 / defence 1.030. League average goals — home 1.384 / away 1.233. Data: built from Djurgardens IF's last 59 games and IFK Norrkoping's last 59.

Result probabilities: Djurgardens IF 41% | Draw 27% | IFK Norrkoping 32%. Fair-value odds: Djurgardens IF 2.46 | Draw 3.65 | IFK Norrkoping 3.13. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.50. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.50 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Djurgardens IF are the pick at 41% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Djurgardens IF 5 wins from 7 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Djurgardens IF if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.50 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 54% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Djurgardens IF 50% (last 10 home games) | IFK Norrkoping 80% (last 10 away games).
