Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Aris Thessalonikis 1.96 xG and Kifisia 1.27 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: Aris Thessalonikis attack 1.082 / defence 1.036 | Kifisia attack 1.192 / defence 1.093. League average goals — home 1.654 / away 1.032. Data: 35 Aris Thessalonikis games / 35 Kifisia games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Aris Thessalonikis 52% | Draw 24% | Kifisia 24%. Fair-value odds: Aris Thessalonikis 1.92 | Draw 4.17 | Kifisia 4.17. Aris Thessalonikis hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.23. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.23 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.96 / 1.27) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Aris Thessalonikis at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Aris Thessalonikis offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 3.23 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 63% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 1.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Aris Thessalonikis 60% | Kifisia 50% BTTS from recent games.
