✍️ Match Preview
Analysis
SC Freiburg make the trip to Stadion An der Alten Försterei to face Union Berlin in Bundesliga, Regular Season - 10. The match kicks off on Friday 8 November 2024 at 19:30 UTC.
Current Form
Union Berlin's overall Bundesliga record this term: 5W 3D 2L from 10 games (1.80 PPG). Last five: L W W D L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Union Berlin, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten Försterei this season: 5W 1D 4L from 10 home games — 1.60 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
SC Freiburg (all games): 5W 1D 4L across 10 Bundesliga outings this term — 1.60 points per game. Last five: L W W L D. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for SC Freiburg, so this record blends games from this season and last.
SC Freiburg away from home this season: 5W 1D 4L from 10 away games — 1.60 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.80 vs 1.60 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
Head-to-Head
Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 6 head-to-head meetings have produced 3 wins for Union Berlin, 1 for SC Freiburg and 2 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.
Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 3.2 goals per game across 6 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 18 May 2024, ended 2–1 with Union Berlin winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.2 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
Trading
Union Berlin half-time and goal-timing data (43 games, 21 at home): they score before half-time in 76% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games (home games); they fail to score in 46% of games.
SC Freiburg half-time and goal-timing data (43 games, 21 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Union Berlin 40% versus SC Freiburg 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Union Berlin 44% | SC Freiburg 65%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Union Berlin 1.40 xG and SC Freiburg 1.30 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: Union Berlin attack 0.954 / defence 0.869 | SC Freiburg attack 0.982 / defence 0.899. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.524. Data: 43 Union Berlin games / 43 SC Freiburg games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Union Berlin 36% | Draw 32% | SC Freiburg 32%. Fair-value odds: Union Berlin 2.78 | Draw 3.12 | SC Freiburg 3.12. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.70. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.70 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Union Berlin at 36% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 32% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Union Berlin if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.70 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 51% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 58% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Union Berlin 70% | SC Freiburg 40% BTTS from recent games.
The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Stadion An der Alten Försterei, Regular Season - 10, as Union Berlin and SC Freiburg drew 0-0 in the Bundesliga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Union Berlin 1.40 xG and SC Freiburg 1.30 xG, a combined 2.70. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Union Berlin fell 1.4 short of their projected output. SC Freiburg landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Union Berlin attack 0.95 / defence 0.87 against SC Freiburg attack 0.98 / defence 0.90, drawn from 43/43 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Union Berlin 36% | Draw 32% | SC Freiburg 32%, with Union Berlin to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Union Berlin 44%, SC Freiburg 65%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Union Berlin's trading profile (43 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 46% of games, a blank that repeated today.
SC Freiburg's trading profile (43 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Union Berlin 1.12 PPG, SC Freiburg 1.35 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Union Berlin (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.33 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.57 average — tighter than their form line. SC Freiburg (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.05 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.57 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
