Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Freiburg 2.15 xG and Eintracht Frankfurt 1.62 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: SC Freiburg attack 1.450 / defence 1.168 | Eintracht Frankfurt attack 0.935 / defence 1.252. League average goals — home 1.184 / away 1.483. SC Freiburg carry an above-average attack strength of 1.450 — their λ of 2.15 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Eintracht Frankfurt bring a strong defensive rating of 1.252 — this is suppressing SC Freiburg's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 16 SC Freiburg games / 16 Eintracht Frankfurt games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: SC Freiburg 48% | Draw 24% | Eintracht Frankfurt 28%. Fair-value odds: SC Freiburg 2.08 | Draw 4.17 | Eintracht Frankfurt 3.57. SC Freiburg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 72% | Total xG 3.77. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.77 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 72% reflects that both xG figures (2.15 / 1.62) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, SC Freiburg are the pick at 48% — moderate model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on SC Freiburg offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.77 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 73% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.6 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 72%. Form rates corroborate: SC Freiburg 75% | Eintracht Frankfurt 62% BTTS from recent games.
