Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.36 xG and SC Paderborn 07 1.51 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: SpVgg Greuther Fürth attack 1.022 / defence 1.157 | SC Paderborn 07 attack 0.984 / defence 0.826. League average goals — home 1.609 / away 1.326.

Result probabilities: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 33% | Draw 27% | SC Paderborn 07 40%. Fair-value odds: SpVgg Greuther Fürth 3.03 | Draw 3.70 | SC Paderborn 07 2.50. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
