Poisson distribution in football predictions

The Poisson distribution models the probability of a team scoring exactly k goals when their expected goals (xG) for the match is λ. The formula is P(k) = (λ^k × e^−λ) / k!. By combining home and away expected goals, you can derive the probability of any final scoreline, plus win, draw and over/under markets.
