Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Braunschweig 1.97 xG and Energie Cottbus 1.33 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 0.955 / defence 1.240 | Energie Cottbus attack 0.700 / defence 1.244. League average goals — home 1.656 / away 1.533. Energie Cottbus bring a strong defensive rating of 1.244 — this is suppressing Eintracht Braunschweig's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 37 Eintracht Braunschweig games / 3 Energie Cottbus games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Eintracht Braunschweig 52% | Draw 22% | Energie Cottbus 26%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Braunschweig 1.92 | Draw 4.55 | Energie Cottbus 3.85. Eintracht Braunschweig hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.30. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.30 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.97 / 1.33) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Eintracht Braunschweig at 52% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 22% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Eintracht Braunschweig if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.30 combined xG gives a 64% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 63%. Form rates corroborate: Eintracht Braunschweig 60% | Energie Cottbus 67% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (3 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
