Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kristiansund BK 2.00 xG and Haugesund 1.42 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: Kristiansund BK attack 1.162 / defence 1.281 | Haugesund attack 0.803 / defence 1.268. League average goals — home 1.358 / away 1.377. Haugesund bring a strong defensive rating of 1.268 — this is suppressing Kristiansund BK's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 29 Kristiansund BK games / 29 Haugesund games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Kristiansund BK 50% | Draw 24% | Haugesund 26%. Fair-value odds: Kristiansund BK 2.00 | Draw 4.17 | Haugesund 3.85. Kristiansund BK hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.42. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.42 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 67% reflects that both xG figures (2.00 / 1.42) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Kristiansund BK as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Kristiansund BK if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.42 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 66% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 67% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Kristiansund BK 80% | Haugesund 70% BTTS from recent games.
