Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.81 xG and SV Darmstadt 98 1.34 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 1.038 | SV Darmstadt 98 attack 1.029 / defence 1.032. League average goals — home 1.746 / away 1.253. Data: 34 SpVgg Greuther Fürth games / 34 SV Darmstadt 98 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 48% | Draw 24% | SV Darmstadt 98 28%. Fair-value odds: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2.08 | Draw 4.17 | SV Darmstadt 98 3.57. SpVgg Greuther Fürth hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.15. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.15 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.81 / 1.34) 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 48% — moderate model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on SpVgg Greuther Fürth offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.15 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.0 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 62% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 50% | SV Darmstadt 98 100% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (34 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
