Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Arezzo 1.86 xG and Vicenza Virtus 1.33 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: Arezzo attack 0.981 / defence 1.367 | Vicenza Virtus attack 0.843 / defence 1.364. League average goals — home 1.391 / away 1.158. Vicenza Virtus bring a strong defensive rating of 1.364 — this is suppressing Arezzo's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 3 Arezzo games / 3 Vicenza Virtus games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Arezzo 50% | Draw 23% | Vicenza Virtus 28%. Fair-value odds: Arezzo 2.00 | Draw 4.35 | Vicenza Virtus 3.57. Arezzo hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.20. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.20 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.86 / 1.33) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Arezzo as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Arezzo if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.20 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 62% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 4.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Arezzo 67% | Vicenza Virtus 67% BTTS from recent games.
