Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Magdeburg 1.21 xG and 1. FC Nürnberg 1.74 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 0.860 / defence 1.257 | 1. FC Nürnberg attack 1.058 / defence 0.960. League average goals — home 1.462 / away 1.305. Data: 47 1.

Result probabilities: 1. FC Magdeburg 27% | Draw 24% | 1. FC Nürnberg 50%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Magdeburg 3.70 | Draw 4.17 | 1. FC Nürnberg 2.00. 1. FC Nürnberg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 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.

On the Poisson output, 1. FC Nürnberg are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on 1. FC Nürnberg if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.94 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates corroborate: 1. FC Magdeburg 20% | 1. FC Nürnberg 90% BTTS from recent games.
