Full Analysis
Eintracht-Stadion plays host to Eintracht Braunschweig versus 1. FC Heidenheim in 2. Bundesliga, Regular Season - 33. Kick-off: Sunday 16 May 2027 at 11:30 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Eintracht Braunschweig have collected 1.00 PPG across 10 2. Bundesliga outings this season: 3W 1D 6L. Last five: L D L W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.70 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Eintracht Braunschweig, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Eintracht-Stadion, Eintracht Braunschweig have gone 3W 4D 3L this season (10 games, 1.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
1. FC Heidenheim (all games): 5W 2D 3L across 10 2. Bundesliga outings this term — 1.70 points per game. Last five: W W D D L. They are scoring at 1.80 per game and conceding 1.80. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for 1. FC Heidenheim, so this record blends games from this season and last.
1. FC Heidenheim away from home this season: 2W 3D 5L from 10 away games — 0.90 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.70 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The travelling side arrive in better shape. 1. FC Heidenheim are 0.70 PPG clear of Eintracht Braunschweig in recent 2. Bundesliga fixtures (1.70 vs 1.00). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (using home/away splits) — Eintracht Braunschweig register both teams scoring in 70% of relevant games, 1. FC Heidenheim in 70%. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
Head-to-Head
Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 2 meetings: Eintracht Braunschweig 1W, 1. FC Heidenheim 1W, 0D.
The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 4 Feb 2023, ended 2–0 with Eintracht Braunschweig winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading Data
Eintracht Braunschweig goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (42 games, 21 at home): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games).
1. FC Heidenheim goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (42 games, 21 at away): they score before half-time in 76% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 45%; they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Eintracht Braunschweig 57% versus 1. FC Heidenheim 62%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Eintracht Braunschweig 50% | 1. FC Heidenheim 67%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 1.82 xG and 1. FC Heidenheim 1.33 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: Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.943 / defence 1.173 | 1. FC Heidenheim attack 0.878 / defence 1.181. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.295. Data: 42 Eintracht Braunschweig games / 8 1. FC Heidenheim games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 49% | Draw 23% | 1. FC Heidenheim 28%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 2.04 | Draw 4.35 | 1. FC Heidenheim 3.57. Eintracht Braunschweig hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.16. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.16 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.82 / 1.33) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Eintracht Braunschweig at 49% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form 1. FC Heidenheim (1.70 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Eintracht Braunschweig if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 3.16 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Eintracht Braunschweig 70% | 1. FC Heidenheim 70% BTTS from recent games.
