✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Union Berlin and 1. FC Heidenheim meet at Stadion An der Alten Försterei in Bundesliga, Regular Season - 33. This fixture gets under way on Saturday 10 May 2025 at 14:30 UTC.
Form
Union Berlin (all games): 3W 5D 2L across 10 Bundesliga fixtures this term — 1.40 PPG. Last five: W D D D D. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten Försterei this season: 2W 5D 3L from 10 home games — 1.10 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
1. FC Heidenheim have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 Bundesliga outings this season: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: L L L W D. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.
When travelling in Bundesliga this season, 1. FC Heidenheim have posted 2W 3D 5L from 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.40 vs 1.20 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
Head-to-Head
Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 3 meetings: Union Berlin 0W, 1. FC Heidenheim 2W, 1D.
The 3 previous meetings have averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 11 Jan 2025, ended 0–2 with 1. FC Heidenheim winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading
Union Berlin half-time and goal-timing data (66 games, 33 at home): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); they fail to score in 44% of games.
1. FC Heidenheim half-time and goal-timing data (66 games, 33 at away): they score before half-time in 88% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 69% of the time; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 36%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Union Berlin 44% versus 1. FC Heidenheim 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Union Berlin 47% | 1. FC Heidenheim 53%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Union Berlin 1.45 xG and 1. FC Heidenheim 1.17 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: Union Berlin attack 0.934 / defence 0.987 | 1. FC Heidenheim attack 0.821 / defence 1.006. League average goals — home 1.545 / away 1.448. Data: 66 Union Berlin games / 66 1. FC Heidenheim games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Union Berlin 42% | Draw 28% | 1. FC Heidenheim 29%. Fair-value odds: Union Berlin 2.38 | Draw 3.57 | 1. FC Heidenheim 3.45. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 2.63. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.63 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Union Berlin at 42% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Union Berlin 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 2.63 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 49% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Union Berlin 60% | 1. FC Heidenheim 50% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
1. FC Heidenheim beat Union Berlin 0-3 at Stadion An der Alten Försterei, Regular Season - 33, in the Bundesliga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Union Berlin 1.45 xG and 1. FC Heidenheim 1.17 xG, a combined 2.63. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Union Berlin fell 1.5 short of their projected output. 1. FC Heidenheim outscored their 1.17 projection by 1.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Union Berlin attack 0.93 / defence 0.99 against 1. FC Heidenheim attack 0.82 / defence 1.01, drawn from 66/66 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Union Berlin 42% | Draw 28% | 1. FC Heidenheim 29%, with Union Berlin to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual 1. FC Heidenheim win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Union Berlin 47%, 1. FC Heidenheim 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Union Berlin's trading profile (66 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 44% of games, a blank that repeated today.
1. FC Heidenheim's trading profile (66 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Union Berlin 1.08 PPG, 1. FC Heidenheim 1.03 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the 1. FC Heidenheim win broke the near-deadlock. Union Berlin (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.24 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.48 concession average — a leakier day than usual. 1. FC Heidenheim (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.24 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.82 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
