Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Frankfurt 1.35 xG and Bayern München 1.86 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 Frankfurt attack 0.942 / defence 1.081 | Bayern München attack 1.254 / defence 0.758. League average goals — home 1.897 / away 1.375. Bayern München's defence strength of 0.758 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Bayern München have an above-average attack strength of 1.254 — the away xG of 1.86 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 42 Eintracht Frankfurt games / 42 Bayern München games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Eintracht Frankfurt 28% | Draw 24% | Bayern München 49%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Frankfurt 3.57 | Draw 4.17 | Bayern München 2.04. Bayern München hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.22. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.22 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.35 / 1.86) 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 49% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Bayern München if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.22 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 62% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.0 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Eintracht Frankfurt 70% | Bayern München 70% BTTS from recent games.
