1899 Hoffenheim's record over their last 10 games: 2W 4D 4L (1.00 PPG). Last five: D D L W W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 2.00. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

1899 Hoffenheim away from home: 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 away games — 1.40 PPG on the road. They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support.

The points-per-game gap of 0.60 in Eintracht Frankfurt's favour (1.60 vs 1.00) is a statistically meaningful difference. The hosts are the form pick here, with draw protection the sensible hedge given the away side's competitiveness.

The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (from Eintracht Frankfurt's last 10 home games and 1899 Hoffenheim's last 10 away games) — both teams have scored in 70% of Eintracht Frankfurt's games and 80% of 1899 Hoffenheim's. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.

H2H History

Trading Data

Eintracht Frankfurt goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 58 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 82% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 70% of those occasions; of the 19 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 53%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).

1899 Hoffenheim goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 58 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 86% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 48%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Eintracht Frankfurt 66% and 1899 Hoffenheim 76% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Eintracht Frankfurt 59% | 1899 Hoffenheim 67%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Frankfurt 1.76 xG and 1899 Hoffenheim 1.54 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: Eintracht Frankfurt attack 0.969 / defence 0.945 | 1899 Hoffenheim attack 1.216 / defence 1.091. League average goals — home 1.669 / away 1.343. 1899 Hoffenheim have an above-average attack rating of 1.216, which lifts their away xG to 1.54. Data: built from Eintracht Frankfurt's last 58 games and 1899 Hoffenheim's last 58.

Result probabilities: Eintracht Frankfurt 42% | Draw 25% | 1899 Hoffenheim 33%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Frankfurt 2.39 | Draw 3.93 | 1899 Hoffenheim 3.06. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS Yes probability 66% | Total xG 3.31. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.31 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 66% — both xG figures (1.76 / 1.54) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Eintracht Frankfurt as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Eintracht Frankfurt if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.31 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 64% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Eintracht Frankfurt's last 10 home games and 1899 Hoffenheim's last 10 away games) averaging 3.3 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.6 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 66% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Eintracht Frankfurt 70% (last 10 home games) | 1899 Hoffenheim 80% (last 10 away games).
