Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Union Espanola 1.53 xG and Everton de Vina 1.08 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: Union Espanola attack 1.037 / defence 1.074 | Everton de Vina attack 0.850 / defence 1.048. League average goals — home 1.412 / away 1.184. Data: 34 Union Espanola games / 34 Everton de Vina games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Union Espanola 46% | Draw 29% | Everton de Vina 25%. Fair-value odds: Union Espanola 2.17 | Draw 3.45 | Everton de Vina 4.00. Union Espanola hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Union Espanola are the pick at 46% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Union Espanola if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.61 combined xG gives a 49% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 2.9 goals per game points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates corroborate: Union Espanola 80% | Everton de Vina 40% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (34 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
