Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. 1. FC Nürnberg haven't played a 2.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Nürnberg 2.03 xG and Energie Cottbus 0.95 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 Nürnberg attack 1.011 / defence 0.890 | Energie Cottbus attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.746 / away 1.253. Data: 34 1. FC Nürnberg games / 0 Energie Cottbus 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 Nürnberg 62% | Draw 22% | Energie Cottbus 16%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Nürnberg 1.61 | Draw 4.55 | Energie Cottbus 6.25. The model has a clear lean to 1. FC Nürnberg (62%) — a 46pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.98. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.98 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 54% 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 Nürnberg at 62% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.98 combined xG gives a 57% probability to Over 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

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.
