Solid · Defensive trend

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — No Won

50.9% model probability

Under 2.5 Goals Lost

54.4% model probability

Both clubs have recent form that suggests a disciplined defensive display: Union have not conceded at home this season, while Lommel have kept opponents to half a goal per away game.

Lars's Verdict

Solid

Under 2.5 goals Lost Solid lean Solid · Defensive trend

The model assigns a 54.4% chance of under 2.5 goals, driven by Union’s clean‑sheet home record and Lommel’s tight away defence.

Show the maths

Union’s expected goals of 1.5 combined with Lommel’s 1.0 give a total of 2.5 xG. The model discounts the marginal over‑2.5 probability (45.6%) and leans toward the under, reflecting Union’s zero goals‑against at home and Lommel’s 0.5 away concession rate. This xG gap translates directly into the 54.4% under‑2.5 probability used for the pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 50.9% model probability

With Union St. Gilloise averaging 1.5 expected goals and Lommel United averaging 1.0, the model gives a 50.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Union St. Gilloise 1.5, Lommel United 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 49.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 50.9% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost 54.4% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.5 (Union St. Gilloise 1.5 + Lommel United 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 54.4% chance against 45.6% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Union St. Gilloise 1.5 + Lommel United 1.0 = 2.5 combined): 45.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 54.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Union St. Gilloise at 48.8%, the draw at 26.0%, and Lommel United at 25.2% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 12.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
