Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Arminia Bielefeld 1.10 xG and SC Paderborn 07 1.34 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 0.920 / defence 1.065 | SC Paderborn 07 attack 0.943 / defence 0.795. League average goals — home 1.507 / away 1.332. SC Paderborn 07's defence strength of 0.795 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 25 Arminia Bielefeld games / 59 SC Paderborn 07 games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Arminia Bielefeld 29% | Draw 30% | SC Paderborn 07 40%. Fair-value odds: Arminia Bielefeld 3.45 | Draw 3.33 | SC Paderborn 07 2.50. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.44. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.44 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, SC Paderborn 07 are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on SC Paderborn 07 offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.44 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 44% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 4.3 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Arminia Bielefeld 50% | SC Paderborn 07 50%.
