The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 2.02 xG and Fortuna Düsseldorf 1.58 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: SC Paderborn 07 attack 1.190 / defence 1.169 | Fortuna Düsseldorf attack 1.063 / defence 1.164. League average goals — home 1.458 / away 1.270.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 70% | Total xG 3.60.

BTTS Yes at 70% reflects that both xG figures (2.02 / 1.58) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
