Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 1.46 xG and Bayern München 2.01 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 Paderborn 07 attack 0.862 / defence 1.150 | Bayern München attack 1.305 / defence 0.873. League average goals — home 1.940 / away 1.339. Bayern München have an above-average attack strength of 1.305 — the away xG of 2.01 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 1 SC Paderborn 07 games / 35 Bayern München games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 27% | Draw 23% | Bayern München 50%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 3.70 | Draw 4.35 | Bayern München 2.00. Bayern München hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.47. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.47 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 67% reflects that both xG figures (1.46 / 2.01) 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 Bayern München at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Bayern München if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 3.47 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 4.2 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 67% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: SC Paderborn 07 100% | Bayern München 70% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (1 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
