Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects A. Italiano 1.95 xG and Cobreloa 0.94 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: A. Italiano attack 0.836 / defence 1.060 | Cobreloa attack 0.746 / defence 1.568. League average goals — home 1.486 / away 1.184. Cobreloa bring a strong defensive rating of 1.568 — this is suppressing A. Italiano's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 53 A. Italiano games / 23 Cobreloa games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: A. Italiano 61% | Draw 21% | Cobreloa 18%. Fair-value odds: A. Italiano 1.64 | Draw 4.76 | Cobreloa 5.56. The model has a clear lean to A. Italiano (61%) — a 43pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.88. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.88 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is A. Italiano at 61% — clear model lean. 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 2.88 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: A. Italiano 60% | Cobreloa 40%.
