Trading Patterns

SC Paderborn 07 in-play and half-time data (30 games, 15 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

SV Elversberg in-play and half-time data (30 games, 15 at away): they score before half-time in 87% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 73% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — SC Paderborn 07 70% and SV Elversberg 63% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (SC Paderborn 07 73% | SV Elversberg 63%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 1.89 xG and SV Elversberg 1.90 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: SC Paderborn 07 attack 0.941 / defence 1.204 | SV Elversberg attack 1.167 / defence 1.357. League average goals — home 1.482 / away 1.348. SV Elversberg bring a strong defensive rating of 1.357 — this is suppressing SC Paderborn 07's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 64 SC Paderborn 07 games / 30 SV Elversberg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 39% | Draw 22% | SV Elversberg 39%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 2.56 | Draw 4.55 | SV Elversberg 2.56. The draw (22%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 73% | Total xG 3.79. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.79 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 73% reflects that both xG figures (1.89 / 1.90) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 22% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 39% and away win at 39% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.79 combined xG gives a 73% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 73% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: SC Paderborn 07 50% | SV Elversberg 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 39% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
