H2H Record

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2.12 xG and Holstein Kiel 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 1.124 / defence 1.171 | Holstein Kiel attack 0.832 / defence 1.187. League average goals — home 1.589 / away 1.202. Data: 36 SpVgg Greuther Fürth games / 2 Holstein Kiel games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 59% | Draw 21% | Holstein Kiel 20%. Fair-value odds: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.69 | Draw 4.76 | Holstein Kiel 5.00. The model has a clear lean to SpVgg Greuther Fürth (59%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.29. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.29 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (2.12 / 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 59% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.29 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 64% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 70% | Holstein Kiel 80% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (2 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
