Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 1.62 xG and 1. FC Nürnberg 1.71 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 Braunschweig attack 0.970 / defence 1.110 | 1. FC Nürnberg attack 1.172 / defence 1.130. League average goals — home 1.475 / away 1.316. Data: 67 Eintracht Braunschweig games / 67 1. FC Nürnberg games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 35% | Draw 25% | 1. FC Nürnberg 39%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 2.86 | Draw 4.00 | 1. FC Nürnberg 2.56. 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 3.33. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.33 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 (1.62 / 1.71) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is 1. FC Nürnberg at 39% — marginal model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on 1. FC Nürnberg offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.33 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 65% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 67%. Form rates corroborate: Eintracht Braunschweig 50% | 1. FC Nürnberg 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% 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.
