Both the short-term (6-match) and medium-term (12-match) Poisson models project extremely low expected goals for both sides, with the fair odds for Over 2.5 sitting at 5.23 and 2.57 respectively — strongly implying the under. The market's 2.24 for Under 2.5 offers genuine value across both windows. Chelsea are missing key attackers (Estevao out, Joao Pedro doubtful), and while Spurs' relegation survival motivation may push them forward, it also raises the risk of a defensive collapse rather than an open game.

The statistical models, based on both short and medium-term form, indicate a much lower goal expectancy than the market implies. Both teams have posted very low expected goals figures in their last six matches, suggesting a tighter game is more probable than the odds suggest.

Both teams are in dreadful short-term form — Chelsea averaging just 0.33 ppg and Tottenham 1.17 ppg over 6 matches. The Poisson model projects only 1.50 total goals from the short-term window. Chelsea are missing Estevao, Gittens and Derry with Joao Pedro a major doubt, while Tottenham are without Romero, Kulusevski, Simons, Kudus and Odobert. Two depleted, out-of-form sides in a London derby points clearly to a low-scoring affair.

The short-term attacking numbers are very weak and even the medium-term view still points to a relatively low-scoring match. Both totals views rate four or more goals as less likely than the market suggests, making the under 3.5 line the clearest angle.

Both short and medium-term Poisson projections point to a severely low-scoring affair, with short-term combined expected goals output sitting well below two goals per match. The market price of 2.24 significantly underestimates the probability of a tight defensive match based on these poor attacking metrics.
