Form Guide

Mariehamn — last 10 games: 3W 1D 6L, averaging 1.00 points per game. Last five: L L W L W. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Mariehamn at home: 3W 3D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.20 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.

Across their last 10 games, Inter Turku have recorded 5W 1D 4L — 1.60 PPG. Last five: L W W W L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

On the road, Inter Turku have gone 4W 1D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.30 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Inter Turku — 0.60 PPG ahead of the hosts (1.60 vs 1.00). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

Head to Head

Despite the home advantage, Inter Turku have the better record in our head-to-head data — 4 wins from 6 H2H matches against 1 for Mariehamn.

The 6 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 2.8 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 6 Oct 2024, ended Mariehamn 0–1 Inter Turku — a Inter Turku win.

The H2H data backs the away side. Inter Turku have won 4 of 6 H2H matches, and at 2.8 goals per game the goals market also points upward — the away win and Over 2.5 combination has a head-to-head case.

Trading Patterns

Mariehamn in-play and half-time data (last 56 games, 27 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 46% of the time; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

Inter Turku in-play and half-time data (last 56 games, 27 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 78% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; of the 24 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Mariehamn 54% versus Inter Turku 59%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Mariehamn 57% | Inter Turku 62%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Mariehamn 1.23 xG and Inter Turku 2.25 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: Mariehamn attack 1.019 / defence 1.176 | Inter Turku attack 1.292 / defence 0.777. League average goals — home 1.549 / away 1.481. Inter Turku bring a tight defence (rating 0.777, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Mariehamn's projected output down. Inter Turku have an above-average attack rating of 1.292, which lifts their away xG to 2.25. Data: built from Mariehamn's last 28 games and Inter Turku's last 27.

Result probabilities: Mariehamn 20% | Draw 20% | Inter Turku 60%. Fair-value odds: Mariehamn 5.03 | Draw 5.09 | Inter Turku 1.65. The model has a clear lean to Inter Turku (60%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS Yes probability 63% | Total xG 3.48. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.48 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 63% — both xG figures (1.23 / 2.25) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

Form (Mariehamn's last 10 home games and Inter Turku's last 10 away games) suggests only ~1.7 goals/game but Poisson projects Over 2.5 at 67% — underlying attack/defence strengths imply more goals than surface form shows.

The Poisson model's primary lean is Inter Turku at 60% — clear model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.48 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 67% — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 6 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Mariehamn 40% (last 10 home games) | Inter Turku 30% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
