Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Heidenheim 1.71 xG and VfL Osnabrück 1.23 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: 1. FC Heidenheim attack 0.850 / defence 1.150 | VfL Osnabrück attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.746 / away 1.253. Data: 0 1. FC Heidenheim games / 0 VfL Osnabrück games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: 1. FC Heidenheim 48% | Draw 25% | VfL Osnabrück 27%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Heidenheim 2.08 | Draw 4.00 | VfL Osnabrück 3.70. 1. FC Heidenheim hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.93. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.93 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates 1. FC Heidenheim as the most likely outcome at 48% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on 1. FC Heidenheim if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.93 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (0 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
