Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Universidad de Chile 1.53 xG and Deportes Limache 0.99 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: Universidad de Chile attack 1.016 / defence 0.950 | Deportes Limache attack 1.093 / defence 1.046. League average goals — home 1.443 / away 0.954. Data: 33 Universidad de Chile games / 33 Deportes Limache games used (CurrentSeason).

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

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 2.52. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.52 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 49% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Universidad de Chile at 50% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Universidad de Chile offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.52 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 46% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 3.4 goals per game points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 49% on No. This conflicts with form data: Universidad de Chile 70% | Deportes Limache 70% from recent games — a notable divergence.
