Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Augsburg 1.94 xG and VfB Stuttgart 1.26 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 1.041 / defence 0.984 | VfB Stuttgart attack 0.917 / defence 0.921. League average goals — home 2.023 / away 1.400. Data: 40 FC Augsburg games / 40 VfB Stuttgart games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC Augsburg 53% | Draw 22% | VfB Stuttgart 25%. Fair-value odds: FC Augsburg 1.89 | Draw 4.55 | VfB Stuttgart 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 62% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.20. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.20 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.94 / 1.26) 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 3.20 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 62% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 4.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.6 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: FC Augsburg 70% | VfB Stuttgart 80% BTTS from recent games.
