Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Atletico Madrid 1.89 xG and Deportivo La Coruna 1.26 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: Atletico Madrid attack 1.064 / defence 0.985 | Deportivo La Coruna attack 1.089 / defence 1.091. League average goals — home 1.627 / away 1.176. Data: 42 Atletico Madrid games / 4 Deportivo La Coruna games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Atletico Madrid 52% | Draw 23% | Deportivo La Coruna 25%. Fair-value odds: Atletico Madrid 1.92 | Draw 4.35 | Deportivo La Coruna 4.00. Atletico Madrid hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.15. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.15 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.89 / 1.26) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Atletico Madrid at 52% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Atletico Madrid if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.15 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Atletico Madrid 50% | Deportivo La Coruna 100% BTTS from recent games.
