Fixture Analysis

Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Karlsruher SC have gone 2W 4D 4L — a 1.00 PPG return. Last five: L D W D D. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.90 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Karlsruher SC at home: 5W 3D 2L from their last 10 home games — 1.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 1.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Karlsruher SC are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
SV Elversberg — last 10 games: 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: L W W L L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.30. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, SV Elversberg have gone 4W 2D 2L in their last 8 away fixtures (1.75 PPG). Away from home they average 1.62 goals scored and 1.62 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 75% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour SV Elversberg — 0.70 PPG ahead of the hosts (1.70 vs 1.00). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.
In-Play Data
Karlsruher SC trading profile (last 16 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 100% of their matches in home games; they lead at the break 50% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 5 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 50%.
SV Elversberg trading profile (last 16 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 88% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Karlsruher SC 69% and SV Elversberg 62% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Karlsruher SC 69% | SV Elversberg 62%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Karlsruher SC 1.90 xG and SV Elversberg 1.37 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: Karlsruher SC attack 1.049 / defence 1.026 | SV Elversberg attack 0.934 / defence 1.122. League average goals — home 1.613 / away 1.434. Data: built from Karlsruher SC's last 50 games and SV Elversberg's last 16.
Result probabilities: Karlsruher SC 49% | Draw 23% | SV Elversberg 28%. Fair-value odds: Karlsruher SC 2.02 | Draw 4.34 | SV Elversberg 3.64. Karlsruher SC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.27. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.27 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% — both xG figures (1.90 / 1.37) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Karlsruher SC as the most likely outcome at 49% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form SV Elversberg (1.70 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Karlsruher SC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 3.27 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 63% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Karlsruher SC's last 10 home games and SV Elversberg's last 8 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 64% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Karlsruher SC 50% (last 10 home games) | SV Elversberg 75% (last 8 away games).
