Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stockport County 1.49 xG and Wycombe 1.64 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: Stockport County attack 0.984 / defence 1.047 | Wycombe attack 1.300 / defence 1.105. League average goals — home 1.368 / away 1.202. Wycombe have an above-average attack strength of 1.300 — the away xG of 1.64 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 13 Stockport County games / 58 Wycombe games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Stockport County 35% | Draw 24% | Wycombe 41%. Fair-value odds: Stockport County 2.86 | Draw 4.17 | Wycombe 2.44. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.12. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.12 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.49 / 1.64) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Wycombe at 41% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Wycombe 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 3.12 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Stockport County 40% | Wycombe 90% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
