Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Casa Pia 1.01 xG and Pacos Ferreira 1.00 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 0.711 / defence 1.014 | Pacos Ferreira attack 0.966 / defence 1.074. League average goals — home 1.324 / away 1.019. Casa Pia's attack strength of 0.711 is below the league average — the 1.01 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 22 Casa Pia games / 56 Pacos Ferreira games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Casa Pia 35% | Draw 31% | Pacos Ferreira 34%. Fair-value odds: Casa Pia 2.86 | Draw 3.23 | Pacos Ferreira 2.94. 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 33% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 2.01. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 67% probability — total xG of 2.01 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Casa Pia as the most likely outcome at 35% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Casa Pia if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.01 combined xG gives a 33% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 40%. Form rates corroborate: Casa Pia 30% | Pacos Ferreira 40% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
