Predicting a correct score in football is a solvable mathematical problem, not a guessing game. The solution requires three inputs — team-specific offensive strength (λ), team-specific defensive strength (μ), and the Poisson distribution formula — combined with xG-adjusted data from the fixture in question. This guide maps the complete predictive workflow step by step: from sourcing reliable xG data, to calculating attack and defence coefficients, to running the Poisson formula to derive exact scoreline probabilities for every score combination from 0-0 to 4-4. By the end, you will know how to
