Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Eintracht Frankfurt stand at 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W D L L W. They are averaging 2.20 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

They are averaging 2.50 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans.

SC Freiburg's away record over their last 10 away games: 2W 3D 5L (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Eintracht Frankfurt 1.70 PPG, SC Freiburg 1.50 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 5 H2H matches, Eintracht Frankfurt have won 1, SC Freiburg 1, with 3 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 2.8 per game across the 5 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 18 Feb 2024, ended Eintracht Frankfurt 3–3 SC Freiburg — a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 2.8 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Data

Eintracht Frankfurt trading profile (last 50 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

SC Freiburg trading profile (last 50 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; BTTS occurs in 42% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Eintracht Frankfurt 68% and SC Freiburg 60% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Eintracht Frankfurt 62% | SC Freiburg 66%). Note also that SC Freiburg surrender HT leads in 31% of cases while Eintracht Frankfurt recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 50% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Frankfurt 2.23 xG and SC Freiburg 1.21 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 Frankfurt attack 1.189 / defence 1.092 | SC Freiburg attack 0.757 / defence 1.085. League average goals — home 1.729 / away 1.460. SC Freiburg's attack rating of 0.757 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.21. Data: built from Eintracht Frankfurt's last 50 games and SC Freiburg's last 50.

Result probabilities: Eintracht Frankfurt 60% | Draw 21% | SC Freiburg 19%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Frankfurt 1.67 | Draw 4.74 | SC Freiburg 5.24. The model has a clear lean to Eintracht Frankfurt (60%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS Yes probability 63% | Total xG 3.44. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.44 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 63% — both xG figures (2.23 / 1.21) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Eintracht Frankfurt are the pick at 60% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.44 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Eintracht Frankfurt's last 10 home games and SC Freiburg's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 63%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Eintracht Frankfurt 80% (last 10 home games) | SC Freiburg 40% (last 10 away games).
