From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Bayern München 66% and SC Paderborn 07 63% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Bayern München 94% | SC Paderborn 07 60%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bayern München 2.62 xG and SC Paderborn 07 0.86 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 1.506 / defence 0.944 | SC Paderborn 07 attack 0.684 / defence 0.897. League average goals — home 1.939 / away 1.339. Bayern München carry an above-average attack strength of 1.506 — their λ of 2.62 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 35 Bayern München games / 1 SC Paderborn 07 games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Bayern München 74% | Draw 16% | SC Paderborn 07 9%. Fair-value odds: Bayern München 1.35 | Draw 6.25 | SC Paderborn 07 11.11. The model has a clear lean to Bayern München (74%) — a 65pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 3.49. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.49 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 probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Bayern München are the pick at 74% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.49 combined xG gives a 68% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.9 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 54%. Form rates corroborate: Bayern München 90% | SC Paderborn 07 50% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (1 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
