Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Djurgardens IF 2.04 xG and Sirius 1.57 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: Djurgardens IF attack 1.338 / defence 0.943 | Sirius attack 1.285 / defence 0.973. League average goals — home 1.566 / away 1.296. Djurgardens IF carry an above-average attack rating of 1.338 — their 2.04 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Sirius have an above-average attack rating of 1.285, which lifts their away xG to 1.57. Data: built from Djurgardens IF's last 37 games and Sirius's last 37.

Result probabilities: Djurgardens IF 49% | Draw 22% | Sirius 30%. Fair-value odds: Djurgardens IF 2.05 | Draw 4.65 | Sirius 3.35. Djurgardens IF hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS Yes probability 69% | Total xG 3.61. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.61 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 69% — both xG figures (2.04 / 1.57) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Djurgardens IF as the most likely outcome at 49% — moderate model lean. The head-to-head data (Djurgardens IF 6 wins from 9 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Djurgardens IF if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.61 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 70% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Djurgardens IF's last 10 home games and Sirius's last 10 away games) averaging 3.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.9 goals per game across 9 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 69% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Djurgardens IF 70% (last 10 home games) | Sirius 90% (last 10 away games).
