Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Kaiserslautern 1.61 xG and Eintracht Braunschweig 1.41 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: 1. FC Kaiserslautern attack 0.992 / defence 0.668 | Eintracht Braunschweig attack 1.283 / defence 0.931. League average goals — home 1.742 / away 1.645. Eintracht Braunschweig have an above-average attack strength of 1.283 — the away xG of 1.41 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. 1. FC Kaiserslautern's defence rating of 0.668 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 38 1. FC Kaiserslautern games / 37 Eintracht Braunschweig games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: 1. FC Kaiserslautern 42% | Draw 24% | Eintracht Braunschweig 34%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Kaiserslautern 2.38 | Draw 4.17 | Eintracht Braunschweig 2.94. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 3.02. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.02 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (1.61 / 1.41) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
