They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects 1. FC Heidenheim 0.83 xG and Bayern München 2.07 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 0.715 / defence 1.119 | Bayern München attack 1.299 / defence 0.786. League average goals — home 1.487 / away 1.425. 1. FC Heidenheim's attack strength of 0.715 is below the league average — the 0.83 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Bayern München's defence strength of 0.786 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Bayern München have an above-average attack strength of 1.299 — the away xG of 2.07 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 63 1. FC Heidenheim games / 63 Bayern München games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: 1. FC Heidenheim 14% | Draw 21% | Bayern München 66%. Fair-value odds: 1. FC Heidenheim 7.14 | Draw 4.76 | Bayern München 1.52. The model has a clear lean to Bayern München (66%) — a 52pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.91. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.91 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Bayern München at 66% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 2.91 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game and H2H averaging 5.7 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 50%. Form rates are neutral: 1. FC Heidenheim 40% | Bayern München 60%.
