Their attacking form is sharp — 2.20 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.

SC Paderborn 07's form when playing away from home: 4W 1D 0L across 5 road games this term (2.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 2 clean sheets from 5 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

Their away PPG of 2.60 exceeds their overall 1.70 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.30 vs 1.70 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Karlsruher SC 1.18 xG and SC Paderborn 07 2.11 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 0.985 / defence 1.168 | SC Paderborn 07 attack 1.384 / defence 1.042. League average goals — home 1.148 / away 1.304. SC Paderborn 07 have an above-average attack strength of 1.384 — the away xG of 2.11 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 11 Karlsruher SC games / 11 SC Paderborn 07 games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Karlsruher SC 18% | Draw 26% | SC Paderborn 07 56%. Fair-value odds: Karlsruher SC 5.56 | Draw 3.85 | SC Paderborn 07 1.79. The model has a clear lean to SC Paderborn 07 (56%) — a 38pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.29. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.29 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (1.18 / 2.11) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates SC Paderborn 07 as the most likely outcome at 56% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.29 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 64% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Karlsruher SC 60% | SC Paderborn 07 60% BTTS from recent games.
