Head to Head

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Union La Calera 1.27 xG and D. Melipilla 0.97 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: Union La Calera attack 0.799 / defence 1.123 | D. Melipilla attack 0.670 / defence 1.501. League average goals — home 1.060 / away 1.295. Union La Calera's attack strength of 0.799 is below the league average — the 1.27 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. D. Melipilla bring a strong defensive rating of 1.501 — this is suppressing Union La Calera's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 26 Union La Calera games / 27 D. Melipilla games used (CurrentSeason).

BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
