Jahnstadion Regensburg plays host to SSV Jahn Regensburg versus Karlsruher SC in 2. Bundesliga, Regular Season - 33. Kick-off: Sunday 11 May 2025 at 12:30 UTC.

Current Form

SSV Jahn Regensburg's overall 2. Bundesliga record this term: 2W 3D 5L from 10 games (0.90 PPG). Last five: L W L D D. They are averaging 0.60 goals per game and conceding 1.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

At home at Jahnstadion Regensburg, SSV Jahn Regensburg have gone 4W 3D 3L this season (10 games, 1.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 1.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — SSV Jahn Regensburg are significantly better at Jahnstadion Regensburg than their overall form suggests.

Karlsruher SC (all games): 5W 3D 2L across 10 2. Bundesliga outings this term — 1.80 points per game. Last five: W D W W D. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

Karlsruher SC's form when playing away from home: 3W 2D 5L across 10 road games this term (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 90% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 1.10 is notably below their overall 1.80 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

On a straight form reading, Karlsruher SC are the stronger side — 0.90 PPG clear of the hosts (1.80 vs 0.90). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.

H2H History

Across the last 5 meetings, Karlsruher SC have the stronger historical record — 3 wins to SSV Jahn Regensburg's 0, with 2 draws in the mix.

Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 3.8 goals per game across 5 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 13 Dec 2024, ended 2–4 with Karlsruher SC winning.

The H2H provides genuine backing for the away side. Karlsruher SC have won 3 of 5 previous encounters, and at 3.8 goals per game, the goals market also points upward. The away win and Over 2.5 combination has a historical case worth noting.

Trading

SSV Jahn Regensburg half-time and goal-timing data (34 games, 17 at home): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 29% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (home games); they fail to score in 56% of games.

Karlsruher SC half-time and goal-timing data (34 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 76% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 82% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 44%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — SSV Jahn Regensburg 32% versus Karlsruher SC 71%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (SSV Jahn Regensburg 47% | Karlsruher SC 71%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SSV Jahn Regensburg 1.25 xG and Karlsruher SC 1.05 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: SSV Jahn Regensburg attack 0.759 / defence 0.809 | Karlsruher SC attack 0.997 / defence 1.122. League average goals — home 1.472 / away 1.307. SSV Jahn Regensburg's attack strength of 0.759 is below the league average — the 1.25 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 32 SSV Jahn Regensburg games / 66 Karlsruher SC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: SSV Jahn Regensburg 40% | Draw 31% | Karlsruher SC 30%. Fair-value odds: SSV Jahn Regensburg 2.50 | Draw 3.23 | Karlsruher SC 3.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.31. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.31 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is SSV Jahn Regensburg at 40% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Karlsruher SC (1.80 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on SSV Jahn Regensburg if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.31 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 41% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 3.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 48% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: SSV Jahn Regensburg 40% | Karlsruher SC 90% from recent games — a notable divergence.
