Match Analysis

SpVgg Greuther Fürth host Rot-Weiß Essen at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer in 2. Bundesliga, Final. Kick-off is scheduled for Tuesday 26 May 2026 at 19:30 UTC.

Form Guide

SpVgg Greuther Fürth — All Games: 3W 2D 5L from 10 2. Bundesliga outings this season, averaging 1.10 points per game. Last five: L D L W L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth's form when playing at home: 4W 4D 2L across 10 games at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer this term (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.10 — SpVgg Greuther Fürth are significantly better at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer than their overall form suggests.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Rot-Weiß Essen stand at 1W 0D 0L from 1 2. Bundesliga matches — 3.00 PPG. Last five: W. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 0.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 1 games (100%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Rot-Weiß Essen have played only a handful of 2. Bundesliga games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Rot-Weiß Essen — 1.90 PPG ahead of the hosts (3.00 vs 1.10). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

H2H

The rivalry is an even one: 0 wins apiece for SpVgg Greuther Fürth, 1 for Rot-Weiß Essen and 0 shared spoils from 1 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.

These sides have historically produced few goals — 1.0 per contest from 1 previous meetings. The Under 2.5 market has a well-supported historical case here. The most recent clash, on 22 May 2026, ended 0–1 with Rot-Weiß Essen winning.

With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.94 xG and Rot-Weiß Essen 1.17 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 1.028 / defence 1.097 | Rot-Weiß Essen attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.643 / away 1.255. Data: 68 SpVgg Greuther Fürth games / 0 Rot-Weiß Essen games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 55% | Draw 24% | Rot-Weiß Essen 22%. Fair-value odds: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.82 | Draw 4.17 | Rot-Weiß Essen 4.55. The model has a clear lean to SpVgg Greuther Fürth (55%) — a 33pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 3.11. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.11 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (1.94 / 1.17) 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 SpVgg Greuther Fürth at 55% — clear model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Rot-Weiß Essen (3.00 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.11 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
