Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Hamburger SV 1.77 xG and VfL Wolfsburg 1.34 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: Hamburger SV attack 1.077 / defence 0.979 | VfL Wolfsburg attack 0.886 / defence 1.037. League average goals — home 1.583 / away 1.542. Data: 7 Hamburger SV games / 41 VfL Wolfsburg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Hamburger SV 47% | Draw 24% | VfL Wolfsburg 29%. Fair-value odds: Hamburger SV 2.13 | Draw 4.17 | VfL Wolfsburg 3.45. Hamburger SV hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.11. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.11 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.77 / 1.34) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Hamburger SV are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Hamburger SV if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.11 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 60% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Hamburger SV 60% | VfL Wolfsburg 50% BTTS from recent games.
