Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1899 Hoffenheim 2.03 xG and Hamburger SV 0.79 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 1.061 / defence 0.989 | Hamburger SV attack 0.568 / defence 1.111. League average goals — home 1.720 / away 1.412. Data: 47 1899 Hoffenheim games / 13 Hamburger SV games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: 1899 Hoffenheim 66% | Draw 21% | Hamburger SV 13%. Fair-value odds: 1899 Hoffenheim 1.52 | Draw 4.76 | Hamburger SV 7.69. The model has a clear lean to 1899 Hoffenheim (66%) — a 53pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.82. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.82 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is 1899 Hoffenheim at 66% — 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 2.82 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 54% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. Form rates are neutral: 1899 Hoffenheim 60% | Hamburger SV 40%.
