How the numbers for Switzerland U20 v Romania U20 are calculated
Every figure on this page comes from the steps below – nothing is adjusted by hand.
Expected goals (λ)
Not enough history for team ratings – the goal estimate uses the statistical feed and the market line only.
| Total-goals source | Estimate | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Statistical xG feed | 5.00 | 45% |
| Over/under 2.5 price | 3.00 | 55% |

Split by team strength and the 1X2 balance → λhome = 2.49, λaway = 1.42
Poisson goal distributions
P(k goals) = e−λ · λk ÷ k!
