Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Casa Pia 1.42 xG and Maritimo 0.82 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: Casa Pia attack 0.783 / defence 1.009 | Maritimo attack 0.762 / defence 1.374. League average goals — home 1.316 / away 1.067. Casa Pia's attack strength of 0.783 is below the league average — the 1.42 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Maritimo bring a strong defensive rating of 1.374 — this is suppressing Casa Pia's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 24 Casa Pia games / 58 Maritimo games used (CurrentSeason).
