What this tool calculates

Use expected goals for two football teams to estimate home-win, draw, away-win, over 2.5, and both-teams-to-score probabilities with a Poisson model.

P(k goals) = e^(−λ) × λ^k / k!. Score probabilities are the product of independent home and away Poisson probabilities.

Treat the result as a decision aid. Verify inputs, market rules, and settlement conditions before placing a bet.

Worked example

With home xG of 1.60 and away xG of 1.10, the model calculates a grid of score probabilities and sums it to estimate the 1X2 market.

Tips and limitations

  • Use current prices and realistic assumptions.
  • Compare several scenarios instead of relying on one point estimate.
  • Rounding can create small differences from sportsbook displays.
  • Never stake more than you can afford to lose.
