Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bayern München 3.85 xG and Holstein Kiel 1.02 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: Bayern München attack 1.610 / defence 0.746 | Holstein Kiel attack 0.976 / defence 1.317. League average goals — home 1.817 / away 1.405. Bayern München carry an above-average attack strength of 1.610 — their λ of 3.85 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Holstein Kiel bring a strong defensive rating of 1.317 — this is suppressing Bayern München's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Bayern München's defence rating of 0.746 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 53 Bayern München games / 19 Holstein Kiel games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Bayern München 86% | Draw 8% | Holstein Kiel 5%. Fair-value odds: Bayern München 1.16 | Draw 12.50 | Holstein Kiel 20.00. The model has a clear lean to Bayern München (86%) — a 81pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 86% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 4.88. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 86% — a total xG of 4.88 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 63% reflects that both xG figures (3.85 / 1.02) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Bayern München as the most likely outcome at 86% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

On the goals line, Poisson's 4.88 combined xG gives a 86% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.9 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 63%. Form rates corroborate: Bayern München 40% | Holstein Kiel 100% BTTS from recent games.
