Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Accrington ST 0.93 xG and Notts County 1.07 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: Accrington ST attack 0.855 / defence 0.889 | Notts County attack 1.018 / defence 0.892. League average goals — home 1.225 / away 1.185. Data: 82 Accrington ST games / 82 Notts County games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Accrington ST 31% | Draw 31% | Notts County 38%. Fair-value odds: Accrington ST 3.23 | Draw 3.23 | Notts County 2.63. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 2.01. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 2.01 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Notts County if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 40% on No. Form rates corroborate: Accrington ST 30% | Notts County 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% 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.
