Trading Patterns

Eintracht Braunschweig in-play and half-time data (37 games, 18 at home): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Eintracht Braunschweig 60% and 1. FC Nürnberg 62% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Eintracht Braunschweig 51% | 1. FC Nürnberg 57%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 1.63 xG and 1. FC Nürnberg 2.28 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: Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.955 / defence 1.240 | 1. FC Nürnberg attack 1.198 / defence 1.030. League average goals — home 1.656 / away 1.533. Data: 37 Eintracht Braunschweig games / 37 1. FC Nürnberg games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 28% | Draw 20% | 1. FC Nürnberg 52%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 3.57 | Draw 5.00 | 1. FC Nürnberg 1.92. 1. FC Nürnberg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (20%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 75% | BTTS probability 72% | Total xG 3.91. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 75% — a total xG of 3.91 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 72% reflects that both xG figures (1.63 / 2.28) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is 1. FC Nürnberg at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.91 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 75% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 72%. Form rates corroborate: Eintracht Braunschweig 60% | 1. FC Nürnberg 90% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (37 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
