Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2.02 xG and 1. FC Heidenheim 1.11 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: SpVgg Greuther Fürth attack 1.007 / defence 1.041 | 1. FC Heidenheim attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.746 / away 1.253. Data: 34 SpVgg Greuther Fürth games / 0 1. FC Heidenheim 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: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 58% | Draw 22% | 1. FC Heidenheim 20%. Fair-value odds: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.72 | Draw 4.55 | 1. FC Heidenheim 5.00.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, SpVgg Greuther Fürth are the pick at 58% — 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 3.13 combined xG gives a 61% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 50% | 1. FC Heidenheim 70% BTTS from recent games.

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.
