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 rating of 1.212, which lifts their away xG to 1.80. Data: built from SC Paderborn 07's last 57 games and Hamburger SV's last 57.

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 32% | Draw 25% | Hamburger SV 43%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 3.10 | Draw 3.98 | Hamburger SV 2.35. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS Yes 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% — both xG figures (1.55 / 1.80) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Hamburger SV as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. Recent 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 conviction, supported by recent form (SC Paderborn 07's last 10 home games and Hamburger SV's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 7 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 67% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: SC Paderborn 07 60% (last 10 home games) | Hamburger SV 80% (last 10 away games).
