Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lokeren-Temse 1.54 xG and RSC Anderlecht II 1.20 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: Lokeren-Temse attack 0.927 / defence 0.871 | RSC Anderlecht II attack 0.953 / defence 1.203. League average goals — home 1.383 / away 1.446. RSC Anderlecht II's defence rating of 1.203 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Lokeren-Temse's projected output up. Data: built from Lokeren-Temse's last 11 games and RSC Anderlecht II's last 41.

Result probabilities: Lokeren-Temse 45% | Draw 25% | RSC Anderlecht II 30%. Fair-value odds: Lokeren-Temse 2.21 | Draw 3.98 | RSC Anderlecht II 3.37. Lokeren-Temse hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.74. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.74 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Lokeren-Temse at 45% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Lokeren-Temse if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.74 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 52% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Lokeren-Temse's last 5 home games and RSC Anderlecht II's last 10 away games) averaging 2.7 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Lokeren-Temse 20% (last 5 home games) | RSC Anderlecht II 90% (last 10 away games).
