H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 1 H2H match in our data: 1 wins for 1. FC Magdeburg, 0 for Preußen Münster and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.0 per game across the 1 H2H match we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 7 Dec 2024, ended 1. FC Magdeburg 2–1 Preußen Münster — a 1. FC Magdeburg win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

1. FC Magdeburg goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 31 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; of the 9 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 44%; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 45%.

Preußen Münster goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 31 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 5 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 57%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — 1. FC Magdeburg 64% and Preußen Münster 58% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (1. FC Magdeburg 68% | Preußen Münster 42%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: 1. FC Magdeburg surrender their half-time lead 40% of the time, while Preußen Münster have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 57% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle. Note also that Preußen Münster surrender HT leads in 40% of cases while 1. FC Magdeburg recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 44% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Magdeburg 1.68 xG and Preußen Münster 0.92 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: 1. FC Magdeburg attack 1.094 / defence 1.037 | Preußen Münster attack 0.709 / defence 1.044. League average goals — home 1.473 / away 1.255. Preußen Münster's attack rating of 0.709 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.92. Data: built from 1. FC Magdeburg's last 65 games and Preußen Münster's last 31.

Result probabilities: 1. FC Magdeburg 54% | Draw 27% | Preußen Münster 19%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Magdeburg 1.85 | Draw 3.75 | Preußen Münster 5.17. 1. FC Magdeburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates 1. FC Magdeburg as the most likely outcome at 54% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on 1. FC Magdeburg if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.61 combined xG gives a 52% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: 1. FC Magdeburg 50% (last 10 home games) | Preußen Münster 50% (last 10 away games).
