Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wrexham 1.95 xG and Stockport County 1.23 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: Wrexham attack 1.443 / defence 0.657 | Stockport County attack 1.371 / defence 0.935. League average goals — home 1.448 / away 1.369. Wrexham carry an above-average attack strength of 1.443 — their λ of 1.95 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Stockport County have an above-average attack strength of 1.371 — the away xG of 1.23 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Wrexham's defence rating of 0.657 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 45 Wrexham games / 91 Stockport County games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Wrexham 54% | Draw 22% | Stockport County 24%. Fair-value odds: Wrexham 1.85 | Draw 4.55 | Stockport County 4.17. Wrexham hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.19. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.19 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.95 / 1.23) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Wrexham are the pick at 54% — moderate model lean. With a 22% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Wrexham offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 3.19 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 62% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Wrexham 20% | Stockport County 70%.
