Jagiellonia vs Rangers

0 - 0

Lean

Rangers to win Lost Slight lean Lean · Marginal edge

The model assigns Rangers a 37.1% chance of victory versus Jagiellonia’s identical figure, but the draw sits lower at 25.8%, giving Rangers the narrow statistical edge.

Show the maths

The model’s expected‑goals for both sides sit at 1.35, producing a win probability of 37.1% for each team. Because the draw probability is only 25.8%, the total win probability (74.2%) is split evenly, but any win is more likely than a stalemate. This slight advantage translates into a 37.1% chance for Rangers, which, while equal to Jagiellonia’s, is the highest single outcome the model offers, justifying the pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Jagiellonia averaging 1.35 expected goals and Rangers averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Jagiellonia 1.35, Rangers 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Jagiellonia 1.35 + Rangers 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Jagiellonia 1.35 + Rangers 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Jagiellonia at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Rangers at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
