Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Hertha BSC 2.04 xG and SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.42 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: Hertha BSC attack 1.146 / defence 0.921 | SpVgg Greuther Fürth attack 1.091 / defence 1.074. League average goals — home 1.659 / away 1.410. Data: 40 Hertha BSC games / 40 SpVgg Greuther Fürth games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Hertha BSC 52% | Draw 21% | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 27%. Fair-value odds: Hertha BSC 1.92 | Draw 4.76 | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 3.70. Hertha BSC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (21%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.46. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.46 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 66% reflects that both xG figures (2.04 / 1.42) 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 Hertha BSC at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

Poisson projects 3.46 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by H2H averaging 3.4 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 66%. Form rates corroborate: Hertha BSC 70% | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 70% BTTS from recent games.
