Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1899 Hoffenheim 2.49 xG and Eintracht Frankfurt 1.46 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: 1899 Hoffenheim attack 1.105 / defence 1.028 | Eintracht Frankfurt attack 1.047 / defence 1.186. League average goals — home 1.898 / away 1.358. Data: built from 1899 Hoffenheim's last 43 games and Eintracht Frankfurt's last 43.

Result probabilities: 1899 Hoffenheim 60% | Draw 19% | Eintracht Frankfurt 22%. Fair-value odds: 1899 Hoffenheim 1.67 | Draw 5.39 | Eintracht Frankfurt 4.65. The model has a clear lean to 1899 Hoffenheim (60%) — a 38pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 75% | BTTS Yes probability 70% | Total xG 3.95. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 75% — a total xG of 3.95 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 70% — both xG figures (2.49 / 1.46) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is 1899 Hoffenheim at 60% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.95 combined xG gives a 75% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (1899 Hoffenheim's last 10 home games and Eintracht Frankfurt's last 10 away games) averaging 3.4 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.3 goals per game across 10 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 70%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: 1899 Hoffenheim 80% (last 10 home games) | Eintracht Frankfurt 70% (last 10 away games).
