Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

From a betting standpoint, the H2H data backs both SC Freiburg and goals — 4 wins from 5 H2H matches and an average of 3.2 goals per game give the home win and Over 2.5 combination a head-to-head case.
Trading & In-Play
SC Freiburg — key trading statistics (last 53 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 58% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 76% of the time; of the 17 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 36%.
VfB Stuttgart — key trading statistics (last 53 games, 26 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 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 17 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 29%; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 38%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — SC Freiburg 51% versus VfB Stuttgart 64%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (SC Freiburg 53% | VfB Stuttgart 68%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects SC Freiburg 1.70 xG and VfB Stuttgart 1.14 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 0.965 / defence 0.968 | VfB Stuttgart attack 0.938 / defence 1.026. League average goals — home 1.720 / away 1.256. Data: built from SC Freiburg's last 53 games and VfB Stuttgart's last 53.
Result probabilities: SC Freiburg 49% | Draw 27% | VfB Stuttgart 24%. Fair-value odds: SC Freiburg 2.04 | Draw 3.73 | VfB Stuttgart 4.15. SC Freiburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 2.84. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.84 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. 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.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, SC Freiburg are the pick at 49% — moderate model lean. The head-to-head data (SC Freiburg 4 wins from 5 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on SC Freiburg if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 2.84 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 54% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (SC Freiburg's last 10 home games and VfB Stuttgart's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.2 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: SC Freiburg 50% (last 10 home games) | VfB Stuttgart 50% (last 10 away games).
