Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Vasteras SK FK 2.44 xG and Norrby IF 1.39 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: Vasteras SK FK attack 1.224 / defence 1.207 | Norrby IF attack 0.901 / defence 1.355. League average goals — home 1.472 / away 1.279.

Result probabilities: Vasteras SK FK 60% | Draw 20% | Norrby IF 20%. Fair-value odds: Vasteras SK FK 1.67 | Draw 5.00 | Norrby IF 5.00. The model has a clear lean to Vasteras SK FK (60%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 74% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 3.83. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 74% — a total xG of 3.83 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 69% reflects that both xG figures (2.44 / 1.39) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Vasteras SK FK at 60% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.83 combined xG gives a 74% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.6 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 69%. Form rates corroborate: Vasteras SK FK 80% | Norrby IF 80% BTTS from recent games.
