Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Feyenoord 1.74 xG and GO Ahead Eagles 1.29 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: Feyenoord attack 1.116 / defence 0.944 | GO Ahead Eagles attack 0.904 / defence 0.987. League average goals — home 1.584 / away 1.513. Data: 35 Feyenoord games / 35 GO Ahead Eagles games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Feyenoord 47% | Draw 26% | GO Ahead Eagles 27%. Fair-value odds: Feyenoord 2.13 | Draw 3.85 | GO Ahead Eagles 3.70. Feyenoord hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.74 / 1.29) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Feyenoord are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Feyenoord offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 3.04 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 58% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.8 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: Feyenoord 90% | GO Ahead Eagles 50% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (35 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
