Trading Data

Lausanne goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 16 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 5 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 60%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 38%.

Servette FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 16 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; of the 5 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 38%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Lausanne 75% and Servette FC 62% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Lausanne 81% | Servette FC 44%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Lausanne surrender their half-time lead 60% of the time, while Servette FC have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 50% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lausanne 1.21 xG and Servette FC 1.17 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: Lausanne attack 0.936 / defence 0.919 | Servette FC attack 0.961 / defence 0.729. League average goals — home 1.768 / away 1.322. Servette FC bring a tight defence (rating 0.729, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Lausanne's projected output down. Data: built from Lausanne's last 16 games and Servette FC's last 52.

Result probabilities: Lausanne 36% | Draw 29% | Servette FC 35%. Fair-value odds: Lausanne 2.75 | Draw 3.45 | Servette FC 2.89. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS Yes probability 49% | Total xG 2.37. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.37 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 51% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Lausanne are the pick at 36% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Servette FC (2.30 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Lausanne if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.37 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 58% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Lausanne 62% (last 8 home games) | Servette FC 40% (last 10 away games).
