Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Vasteras SK FK 1.35 xG and Trelleborg 0.96 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 0.894 / defence 0.637 | Trelleborg attack 1.158 / defence 0.937. League average goals — home 1.617 / away 1.297. Vasteras SK FK's defence rating of 0.637 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 54 Vasteras SK FK games / 54 Trelleborg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Vasteras SK FK 44% | Draw 31% | Trelleborg 25%. Fair-value odds: Vasteras SK FK 2.27 | Draw 3.23 | Trelleborg 4.00. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 47% | Total xG 2.31. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.31 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 47% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Vasteras SK FK as the most likely outcome at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Vasteras SK FK if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.31 combined xG gives a 41% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 3.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 47%. Form rates are neutral: Vasteras SK FK 20% | Trelleborg 90%.
