Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.70 xG and SC Paderborn 07 1.27 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 1.094 / defence 0.905 | SC Paderborn 07 attack 0.985 / defence 0.978. League average goals — home 1.591 / away 1.429.
