Form Guide

Eintracht Braunschweig — last 10 games: 2W 5D 3L, averaging 1.10 points per game. Last five: L D D L D. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters, Eintracht Braunschweig have posted 3W 4D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.30 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Across their last 10 games, SC Paderborn 07 have recorded 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: D W D W L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.00. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

SC Paderborn 07 away from home: 4W 5D 1L from their last 10 away games — 1.70 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. SC Paderborn 07 are 0.60 PPG ahead (1.70 vs 1.10), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.

H2H

The H2H picture is flat: the 5 H2H matches we hold have produced 1 wins for Eintracht Braunschweig, 2 for SC Paderborn 07 and 2 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 3 Nov 2024, ended Eintracht Braunschweig 0–0 SC Paderborn 07 — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 0.85 xG and SC Paderborn 07 1.54 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 0.762 / defence 1.208 | SC Paderborn 07 attack 0.996 / defence 0.764. League average goals — home 1.469 / away 1.280. Eintracht Braunschweig's attack rating of 0.762 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.85. SC Paderborn 07 bring a tight defence (rating 0.764, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Eintracht Braunschweig's projected output down. Eintracht Braunschweig's defence rating of 1.208 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing SC Paderborn 07's projected output up. Data: built from Eintracht Braunschweig's last 61 games and SC Paderborn 07's last 61.

Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 19% | Draw 30% | SC Paderborn 07 52%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 5.28 | Draw 3.38 | SC Paderborn 07 1.94. SC Paderborn 07 hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 43% | BTTS Yes probability 47% | Total xG 2.40. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 57% — total xG of 2.40 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 53% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.40 combined xG gives a 57% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Eintracht Braunschweig 50% (last 10 home games) | SC Paderborn 07 60% (last 10 away games).
