Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kristiansund BK 1.04 xG and Sarpsborg 08 FF 1.44 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: Kristiansund BK attack 0.934 / defence 0.949 | Sarpsborg 08 FF attack 1.166 / defence 0.741. League average goals — home 1.504 / away 1.301. Sarpsborg 08 FF's defence strength of 0.741 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure.
