Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Augsburg 1.98 xG and SC Freiburg 1.31 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: FC Augsburg attack 1.049 / defence 0.984 | SC Freiburg attack 0.953 / defence 0.946. League average goals — home 1.992 / away 1.401. Data: 40 FC Augsburg games / 40 SC Freiburg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC Augsburg 53% | Draw 22% | SC Freiburg 25%. Fair-value odds: FC Augsburg 1.89 | Draw 4.55 | SC Freiburg 4.00. FC Augsburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.29. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.29 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.98 / 1.31) 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 FC Augsburg at 53% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC Augsburg if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 3.29 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 64% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.1 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: FC Augsburg 70% | SC Freiburg 40% BTTS from recent games.
