H2H Record

The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 0 wins for Preußen Münster, 1 for SpVgg Greuther Fürth and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Preußen Münster 1.27 xG and SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.26 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: Preußen Münster attack 0.673 / defence 0.907 | SpVgg Greuther Fürth attack 0.923 / defence 1.273. League average goals — home 1.488 / away 1.502. Preußen Münster's attack rating of 0.673 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.27. SpVgg Greuther Fürth's defence rating of 1.273 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Preußen Münster's projected output up. Data: built from Preußen Münster's last 17 games and SpVgg Greuther Fürth's last 51.

Result probabilities: Preußen Münster 35% | Draw 31% | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 34%. Fair-value odds: Preußen Münster 2.87 | Draw 3.22 | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2.93. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 54% | Total xG 2.53. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.53 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 54% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Preußen Münster as the most likely outcome at 35% — marginal model lean. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Preußen Münster offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.53 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 54% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Preußen Münster 44% (last 9 home games) | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 50% (last 10 away games).
