Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SSV Ulm 1846 1.12 xG and 1. FC Magdeburg 1.72 xG.

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 probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
