Trading Patterns

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Magdeburg 1.51 xG and Eintracht Braunschweig 1.10 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 0.899 / defence 0.993 | Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.885 / defence 0.964. League average goals — home 1.746 / away 1.253. Data: 34 1. FC Magdeburg games / 34 Eintracht Braunschweig 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 Magdeburg 46% | Draw 27% | Eintracht Braunschweig 27%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Magdeburg 2.17 | Draw 3.70 | Eintracht Braunschweig 3.70. 1. FC Magdeburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.62. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.62 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is 1. FC Magdeburg at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on 1. FC Magdeburg offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.62 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 49% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: 1. FC Magdeburg 60% | Eintracht Braunschweig 50% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (34 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
