Trading Patterns

1. FC Heidenheim in-play and half-time data (61 games, 30 at home): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 36%.

Bayern München in-play and half-time data (61 games, 30 at away): they score before half-time in 90% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; they lead at the break 66% of the time; BTTS occurs in 70% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 77% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 52%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — 1. FC Heidenheim 57% versus Bayern München 61%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (1. FC Heidenheim 56% | Bayern München 74%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Heidenheim 1.61 xG and Bayern München 2.02 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: 1. FC Heidenheim attack 0.835 / defence 1.056 | Bayern München attack 1.332 / defence 1.205. League average goals — home 1.600 / away 1.432. Bayern München bring a strong defensive rating of 1.205 — this is suppressing 1. FC Heidenheim's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Bayern München have an above-average attack strength of 1.332 — the away xG of 2.02 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 27 1. FC Heidenheim games / 61 Bayern München games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: 1. FC Heidenheim 29% | Draw 25% | Bayern München 46%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Heidenheim 3.45 | Draw 4.00 | Bayern München 2.17. Bayern München hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 71% | Total xG 3.62. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.62 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 71% reflects that both xG figures (1.61 / 2.02) 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 Bayern München at 46% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Bayern München offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.62 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 70% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 71%. Form rates corroborate: 1. FC Heidenheim 70% | Bayern München 70% BTTS from recent games.
