Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Atlético Ottawa 2.93 xG and Valour 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: Atlético Ottawa attack 1.394 / defence 1.164 | Valour attack 0.855 / defence 1.399. League average goals — home 1.502 / away 1.270. Atlético Ottawa carry an above-average attack strength of 1.394 — their λ of 2.93 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Valour bring a strong defensive rating of 1.399 — this is suppressing Atlético Ottawa's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 38 Atlético Ottawa games / 37 Valour games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Atlético Ottawa 71% | Draw 17% | Valour 13%. Fair-value odds: Atlético Ottawa 1.41 | Draw 5.88 | Valour 7.69. The model has a clear lean to Atlético Ottawa (71%) — a 58pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 79% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 4.19. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 79% — a total xG of 4.19 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 69% reflects that both xG figures (2.93 / 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 Atlético Ottawa at 71% — clear model lean.

On the goals line, Poisson's 4.19 combined xG gives a 79% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.1 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 69%. Form rates corroborate: Atlético Ottawa 70% | Valour 90% BTTS from recent games.
