Lars's Verdict

Strong

St. Truiden to win Won Solid lean Strong · Home advantage

The model rates a St. Truiden victory at 47.0%, driven by their higher expected goals and superior defensive record at home.

Show the maths

The model assigns St. Truiden 47.0% win probability based on their 1.0 expected goals versus RAAL's 0.5 away expected goals, creating a clear xG advantage. Their identical goals‑against average of 1.0 at home versus RAAL's 2.0 away weakens the visitors' defensive outlook. Combining the offensive edge (1.0 vs 0.5) with the defensive gap (1.0 vs 2.0) yields the 47.0% win likelihood, while the draw sits at 34.9% and the away win at 18.1%.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 75.1% model probability

With St. Truiden averaging 1.0 expected goals and RAAL La Louvière averaging 0.5, the model gives a 75.1% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 24.9% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (St. Truiden 1.0, RAAL La Louvière 0.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 24.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 75.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost 80.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 1.5 (St. Truiden 1.0 + RAAL La Louvière 0.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 80.9% chance against 19.1% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (St. Truiden 1.0 + RAAL La Louvière 0.5 = 1.5 combined): 19.1% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 80.9% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has St. Truiden at 47.0%, the draw at 34.9%, and RAAL La Louvière at 18.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 22.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
