Eliteserien · Predictions

Our power ratings measure each team's attacking and defensive strength on a 1-10 scale. Attack power is derived from expected goals (xG) creation, while defense power reflects xG conceded. A rating of 10 means elite, 5 is average, and 1 is weak. These ratings feed into the Poisson model that generates match predictions.

The attack number (ATT) shows how dangerous a team is at scoring — higher means more goals expected. The defense number (DEF) shows how well a team prevents goals — higher means fewer goals conceded. Together they determine the expected goals (xG) for each team in every match, which drives all scoreline probabilities.

Predictions use a Poisson distribution model. For each match, we calculate expected goals for both teams from their attack/defense power ratings. The model then computes the probability of every possible scoreline (0-0 through 5-5) and ranks them by likelihood. The same method applies to over/under, BTTS, and correct score markets.

Expected goals (xG) is a statistical measure that quantifies the likelihood of a shot becoming a goal. A team's cumulative xG across a match estimates how many goals they should score based on chance quality. In Eliteserien, xG data comes from the SSTrader API and reflects pre-match projections from team form and historical performance.

Over/Under 2.5 goals is typically the most accurate market for statistical models, with 55-65% accuracy. Correct score predictions are lower-probability by nature but can identify value. 1X2 (match winner) accuracy varies by league competitiveness. Our model performs best on goal-line markets because goal distribution follows a Poisson pattern.
