Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Austria Lustenau 1.09 xG and Rapid Vienna 1.76 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: Austria Lustenau attack 0.722 / defence 1.376 | Rapid Vienna attack 1.084 / defence 0.957. League average goals — home 1.576 / away 1.177. Austria Lustenau's attack strength of 0.722 is below the league average — the 1.09 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 5 Austria Lustenau games / 26 Rapid Vienna games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Austria Lustenau 21% | Draw 28% | Rapid Vienna 51%. Fair-value odds: Austria Lustenau 4.76 | Draw 3.57 | Rapid Vienna 1.96. Rapid Vienna hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.84. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.84 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 57% 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 Rapid Vienna at 51% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Rapid Vienna if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.84 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 54% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.8 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Austria Lustenau 67% | Rapid Vienna 70% BTTS from recent games.
