Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Eintracht Braunschweig have gone 5W 1D 4L — a 1.60 PPG return. Last five: L W L D L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Eintracht Braunschweig's form when playing at home: 4W 3D 3L across their last 10 home games (1.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Hansa Rostock stand at 1W 3D 6L — 0.60 PPG. Last five: L D D L L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

On the road, Hansa Rostock have gone 1W 2D 7L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.50 PPG). Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

On current form, Eintracht Braunschweig have the edge — a 1.00 PPG advantage (1.60 vs 0.60) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

Head to Head

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 1.50 xG and Hansa Rostock 0.74 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: Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.881 / defence 0.862 | Hansa Rostock attack 0.622 / defence 1.087. League average goals — home 1.562 / away 1.382. Hansa Rostock's attack rating of 0.622 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.74. Data: built from Eintracht Braunschweig's last 58 games and Hansa Rostock's last 58.

Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 55% | Draw 26% | Hansa Rostock 18%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 1.81 | Draw 3.81 | Hansa Rostock 5.41. The model has a clear lean to Eintracht Braunschweig (55%) — a 29pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS Yes probability 41% | Total xG 2.24. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.24 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 59% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Hansa Rostock have the better head-to-head record in our data (3 wins to 0), but Eintracht Braunschweig carry stronger current form — do not let the head-to-head record alone dictate your assessment.

Poisson rates Eintracht Braunschweig as the most likely outcome at 55% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.24 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 61% — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 1.7 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 59% on No. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Eintracht Braunschweig 70% (last 10 home games) | Hansa Rostock 40% (last 10 away games).
