Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects VfL Osnabrück 1.48 xG and Karlsruher SC 1.65 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: VfL Osnabrück attack 0.850 / defence 1.150 | Karlsruher SC attack 1.006 / defence 1.012. League average goals — home 1.721 / away 1.424. Data: built from VfL Osnabrück's last 0 games and Karlsruher SC's last 34. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.
Result probabilities: VfL Osnabrück 35% | Draw 24% | Karlsruher SC 42%. Fair-value odds: VfL Osnabrück 2.89 | Draw 4.23 | Karlsruher SC 2.39. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.48 / 1.65) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Karlsruher SC as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Karlsruher SC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.13 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
The Poisson model's sample (VfL Osnabrück 0 games, Karlsruher SC 34) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
