Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 2.13 xG and 1. FC Magdeburg 1.80 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: SC Paderborn 07 attack 1.203 / defence 1.024 | 1. FC Magdeburg attack 1.346 / defence 1.169. League average goals — home 1.518 / away 1.307. 1. FC Magdeburg have an above-average attack strength of 1.346 — the away xG of 1.80 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 62 SC Paderborn 07 games / 62 1. FC Magdeburg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 45% | Draw 22% | 1. FC Magdeburg 32%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 2.22 | Draw 4.55 | 1. FC Magdeburg 3.12. SC Paderborn 07 hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 75% | BTTS probability 74% | Total xG 3.93. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 75% — a total xG of 3.93 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 74% reflects that both xG figures (2.13 / 1.80) 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 SC Paderborn 07 at 45% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on SC Paderborn 07 if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.93 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 75% probability — marginal — conflicting signals conviction, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.3 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 74% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: SC Paderborn 07 90% | 1. FC Magdeburg 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
