Sample mean beats sample variance for Poisson

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_{1},X_{2},…,X_{n} be i.i.d. Poisson(λ)\mathrm{Poisson}(\lambda) random variables, where λ>0\lambda>0. Define Xˉ=1n∑i=1nXiandS2=1n−1∑i=1n(Xi−Xˉ)2\bar{X}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}\quad\text{and}\quad S^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(X_{i}-\bar{X})^{2} Then which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
