Current Form

SC Freiburg's record over their last 10 games: 7W 1D 2L (2.20 PPG). Last five: W L L W W. They are averaging 2.40 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

SV Elversberg have collected 1.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 5W 1D 4L. Last five: L W L W L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

SV Elversberg away from home: 1W 4D 5L from their last 10 away games — 0.70 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The points-per-game gap of 0.60 in SC Freiburg's favour (2.20 vs 1.60) is a statistically meaningful difference. The hosts are the form pick here, with draw protection the sensible hedge given the away side's competitiveness.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from SC Freiburg's last 10 home games and SV Elversberg's last 10 away games) — SC Freiburg have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, SV Elversberg in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Trading

SC Freiburg half-time and goal-timing data (last 43 games, 22 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 54%; BTTS occurs in 77% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

SV Elversberg half-time and goal-timing data (last 43 games, 22 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — SC Freiburg 63% and SV Elversberg 58% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (SC Freiburg 67% | SV Elversberg 63%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Freiburg 2.49 xG and SV Elversberg 0.97 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: SC Freiburg attack 1.162 / defence 0.933 | SV Elversberg attack 0.768 / defence 1.130. League average goals — home 1.898 / away 1.358. SV Elversberg's attack rating of 0.768 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.97. Data: built from SC Freiburg's last 43 games and SV Elversberg's last 9.

Result probabilities: SC Freiburg 70% | Draw 17% | SV Elversberg 13%. Fair-value odds: SC Freiburg 1.42 | Draw 5.96 | SV Elversberg 7.83. The model has a clear lean to SC Freiburg (70%) — a 53pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 3.46. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.46 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 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is SC Freiburg at 70% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

The Poisson model projects 3.46 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 67% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (SC Freiburg's last 10 home games and SV Elversberg's last 10 away games) averaging 3.3 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 57% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: SC Freiburg 70% (last 10 home games) | SV Elversberg 60% (last 10 away games).
