0 - 0
Lean
Over 2.5 goals Solid lean Lean · Slight edge

The model assigns a slim edge to the over, driven by the 1.35 xG each side carries and the recent 2‑1 and 1‑2 scorelines between them.

Show the maths
Both teams record an expected goal value of 1.35, meaning each is likely to produce around one to two goals. Adding those figures gives a combined xG of 2.70, which sits above the 2.5‑goal threshold. The model translates that combined xG into a 50.6% probability for over 2.5 goals, just enough to crown it the clearest market.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 54.9% model probability

With Rangers averaging 1.35 expected goals and Jagiellonia 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 (Rangers 1.35, Jagiellonia 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 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Rangers 1.35 + Jagiellonia 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 (Rangers 1.35 + Jagiellonia 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 Rangers at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Jagiellonia 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.
