Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Magdeburg 1.82 xG and 1. FC Kaiserslautern 1.03 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 Magdeburg attack 0.970 / defence 1.026 | 1. FC Kaiserslautern attack 0.799 / defence 1.156. League average goals — home 1.620 / away 1.258. Data: 67 1. FC Magdeburg games / 67 1. FC Kaiserslautern games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: 1. FC Magdeburg 54% | Draw 26% | 1. FC Kaiserslautern 20%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Magdeburg 1.85 | Draw 3.85 | 1. FC Kaiserslautern 5.00. 1. FC Magdeburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.85. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.85 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
