Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 1.86 xG and 1. FC Magdeburg 1.35 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 0.897 / defence 1.008 | 1. FC Magdeburg attack 1.035 / defence 1.337. League average goals — home 1.551 / away 1.298. 1. FC Magdeburg bring a strong defensive rating of 1.337 — this is suppressing Eintracht Braunschweig's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 28 Eintracht Braunschweig games / 28 1. FC Magdeburg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 49% | Draw 23% | 1. FC Magdeburg 28%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 2.04 | Draw 4.35 | 1. FC Magdeburg 3.57. Eintracht Braunschweig hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.22. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.22 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.86 / 1.35) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
