Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.70 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — K. Lierse S.K. are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Lommel United's record over their last 10 games: 2W 5D 3L (1.10 PPG). Last five: D L D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

On the road, Lommel United have gone 5W 1D 4L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.60 PPG). They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 1.60 exceeds their overall 1.10 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.00 for K. Lierse S.K., 1.10 for Lommel United — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (from K. Lierse S.K.'s last 10 home games and Lommel United's last 10 away games) — both teams have scored in 70% of K. Lierse S.K.'s games and 80% of Lommel United's. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.

H2H History

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 7 H2H matches in our data, the wins are level at 3 apiece, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage.

The 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.4 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 28 Sep 2024, ended K. Lierse S.K. 1–1 Lommel United — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Data

K. Lierse S.K. goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 45 games, 23 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 74% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 78% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 49%.

Lommel United goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 45 games, 23 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 80% of those occasions; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 31%; BTTS occurs in 74% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 78% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — K. Lierse S.K. 64% and Lommel United 67% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (K. Lierse S.K. 71% | Lommel United 60%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects K. Lierse S.K. 2.20 xG and Lommel United 1.59 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: K. Lierse S.K. attack 1.219 / defence 1.018 | Lommel United attack 1.107 / defence 1.273. League average goals — home 1.416 / away 1.410. Lommel United's defence rating of 1.273 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing K. Lierse S.K.'s projected output up. Data: built from K. Lierse S.K.'s last 45 games and Lommel United's last 45.

Result probabilities: K. Lierse S.K. 52% | Draw 20% | Lommel United 28%. Fair-value odds: K. Lierse S.K. 1.94 | Draw 4.89 | Lommel United 3.59. K. Lierse S.K. hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (20%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS Yes probability 71% | Total xG 3.79. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.79 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 71% — both xG figures (2.20 / 1.59) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, K. Lierse S.K. are the pick at 52% — moderate model lean. 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 3.79 combined xG gives a 73% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (K. Lierse S.K.'s last 10 home games and Lommel United's last 10 away games) averaging 3.6 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 71%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: K. Lierse S.K. 70% (last 10 home games) | Lommel United 80% (last 10 away games).
