Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Bohemians 0.94 xG and Longford Town 0.86 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: Bohemians attack 0.977 / defence 1.150 | Longford Town attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 0.833 / away 0.880. Data: built from Bohemians's last 1 games and Longford Town's last 1. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.
Result probabilities: Bohemians 32% | Draw 40% | Longford Town 28%. Fair-value odds: Bohemians 3.11 | Draw 2.51 | Longford Town 3.57. The draw (40%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 27% | BTTS Yes probability 39% | Total xG 1.80. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 73% probability — total xG of 1.80 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 61% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
The Poisson model's most likely outcome is the draw at 40% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 32% and away win at 28% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
Poisson projects 1.80 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 73% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
The Poisson model's sample (Bohemians 1 games, Longford Town 1) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.

Bohemians and Longford Town finished level at 2-2 at Dalymount Park, Regular Season - 2, in the Premier Division. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Bohemians 0.94 xG and Longford Town 0.86 xG, a combined 1.80. The scoreboard read 2-2 for 4 actual goals. Bohemians beat their projection by 1.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Longford Town outscored their 0.86 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bohemians attack 0.98 / defence 1.15 against Longford Town attack 0.85 / defence 1.15, drawn from 1/1 games (PrevSeason).
On the result, the model split it Bohemians 32% | Draw 40% | Longford Town 28%, with the draw its most likely call at 40%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 27%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 57% and landed. Over 3.5 was 11% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 39% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
