Current Form

Fortuna Düsseldorf's overall 2. Bundesliga record this term: 3W 3D 4L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: L L D L D. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Fortuna Düsseldorf, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Fortuna Düsseldorf's home record at Merkur Spiel-Arena: 3W 3D 4L from 10 2. Bundesliga appearances (1.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

Eintracht Braunschweig (all games): 3W 4D 3L across 10 2. Bundesliga outings this term — 1.30 points per game. Last five: D D W L D. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. 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 Eintracht Braunschweig, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Eintracht Braunschweig's away record: 1W 3D 6L from 10 road trips in 2. Bundesliga this season (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 2.80 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.60 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.20 vs 1.30 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fortuna Düsseldorf 1.73 xG and Eintracht Braunschweig 1.34 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: Fortuna Düsseldorf attack 0.877 / defence 1.123 | Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.772 / defence 1.328. League average goals — home 1.485 / away 1.544. Eintracht Braunschweig bring a strong defensive rating of 1.328 — this is suppressing Fortuna Düsseldorf's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 48 Fortuna Düsseldorf games / 48 Eintracht Braunschweig games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Fortuna Düsseldorf 45% | Draw 28% | Eintracht Braunschweig 28%. Fair-value odds: Fortuna Düsseldorf 2.22 | Draw 3.57 | Eintracht Braunschweig 3.57. Fortuna Düsseldorf hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.73 / 1.34) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Fortuna Düsseldorf are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Fortuna Düsseldorf 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.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.07 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.8 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 63%. Form rates corroborate: Fortuna Düsseldorf 50% | Eintracht Braunschweig 60% BTTS from recent games.
