Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Arminia Bielefeld 1.97 xG and Eintracht Braunschweig 1.32 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: Arminia Bielefeld attack 1.129 / defence 1.045 | Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.974 / defence 1.068. League average goals — home 1.635 / away 1.295. Data: 41 Arminia Bielefeld games / 42 Eintracht Braunschweig games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Arminia Bielefeld 53% | Draw 22% | Eintracht Braunschweig 25%. Fair-value odds: Arminia Bielefeld 1.89 | Draw 4.55 | Eintracht Braunschweig 4.00. Arminia Bielefeld hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.29. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.29 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.97 / 1.32) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Arminia Bielefeld at 53% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Arminia Bielefeld if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.29 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 64% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.5 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 63% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Arminia Bielefeld 80% | Eintracht Braunschweig 40% BTTS from recent games.
