Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Bayern München 2.89 xG and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.55 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: Bayern München attack 1.612 / defence 1.127 | Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 1.086 / defence 1.386. League average goals — home 1.295 / away 1.265. Bayern München carry an above-average attack strength of 1.612 — their λ of 2.89 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Borussia Mönchengladbach bring a strong defensive rating of 1.386 — this is suppressing Bayern München's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 31 Bayern München games / 31 Borussia Mönchengladbach games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Bayern München 65% | Draw 18% | Borussia Mönchengladbach 18%. Fair-value odds: Bayern München 1.54 | Draw 5.56 | Borussia Mönchengladbach 5.56. The model has a clear lean to Bayern München (65%) — a 47pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 82% | BTTS probability 75% | Total xG 4.44. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 82% — a total xG of 4.44 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 75% reflects that both xG figures (2.89 / 1.55) 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 Bayern München at 65% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 4.44 combined xG gives a 82% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.9 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 75%. Form rates corroborate: Bayern München 80% | Borussia Mönchengladbach 70% BTTS from recent games.
