Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Heidenheim 1.13 xG and FC Augsburg 1.85 xG.

Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.99 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
