Poisson distribution vs AI models for football prediction: which wins?

Poisson distribution models and machine learning models approach football prediction differently. Poisson is transparent and strong for over/under and correct score — it's the industry standard for goal-based markets. Machine learning captures non-linear interactions Poisson misses. The strongest football prediction systems use both: Poisson as the probability foundation, ML as the contextual correction layer.
