Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1899 Hoffenheim 1.45 xG and Eintracht Frankfurt 1.98 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 0.971 / defence 1.141 | Eintracht Frankfurt attack 1.211 / defence 1.198. League average goals — home 1.241 / away 1.435. Eintracht Frankfurt have an above-average attack strength of 1.211 — the away xG of 1.98 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 19 1899 Hoffenheim games / 19 Eintracht Frankfurt games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: 1899 Hoffenheim 28% | Draw 22% | Eintracht Frankfurt 50%. Fair-value odds: 1899 Hoffenheim 3.57 | Draw 4.55 | Eintracht Frankfurt 2.00. Eintracht Frankfurt hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.43. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.43 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 66% reflects that both xG figures (1.45 / 1.98) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Eintracht Frankfurt at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Eintracht Frankfurt if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.43 combined xG gives a 67% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 66%. Form rates corroborate: 1899 Hoffenheim 56% | Eintracht Frankfurt 70% BTTS from recent games.
