Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 1.55 xG and Hamburger SV 1.80 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 0.976 / defence 1.113 | Hamburger SV attack 1.212 / defence 1.096. League average goals — home 1.450 / away 1.332. Hamburger SV have an above-average attack strength of 1.212 — the away xG of 1.80 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 57 SC Paderborn 07 games / 57 Hamburger SV games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 32% | Draw 25% | Hamburger SV 43%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 3.12 | Draw 4.00 | Hamburger SV 2.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.35. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.35 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% reflects that both xG figures (1.55 / 1.80) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Hamburger SV as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Hamburger SV if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.35 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 65% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 67% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: SC Paderborn 07 60% | Hamburger SV 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
