Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Academico Viseu 0.93 xG and Vitória SC 1.43 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: Academico Viseu attack 0.621 / defence 1.277 | Vitória SC attack 0.897 / defence 1.140. League average goals — home 1.317 / away 1.253. Academico Viseu's attack strength of 0.621 is below the league average — the 0.93 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 5 Academico Viseu games / 39 Vitória SC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Academico Viseu 24% | Draw 27% | Vitória SC 49%. Fair-value odds: Academico Viseu 4.17 | Draw 3.70 | Vitória SC 2.04. Vitória SC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.37. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.37 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Vitória SC at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Vitória SC if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.37 combined xG gives a 42% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 2.9 goals per game points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 46%. Form rates corroborate: Academico Viseu 40% | Vitória SC 50% BTTS from recent games.
