Form

Werder Bremen (all games): 8W 1D 1L across 10 2. Bundesliga fixtures this term — 2.50 PPG. Last five: W W W W W. They are averaging 2.60 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone. This season is still relatively young for Werder Bremen, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Werder Bremen's home record at wohninvest WESERSTADION: 5W 3D 2L from 10 2. Bundesliga appearances (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.80 lags behind their overall 2.50 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at wohninvest WESERSTADION this season.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Werder Bremen 1.87 xG and FC Ingolstadt 04 1.22 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: Werder Bremen attack 1.215 / defence 0.915 | FC Ingolstadt 04 attack 0.908 / defence 1.332. League average goals — home 1.155 / away 1.463. FC Ingolstadt 04 bring a strong defensive rating of 1.332 — this is suppressing Werder Bremen's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 22 Werder Bremen games / 22 FC Ingolstadt 04 games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Werder Bremen 50% | Draw 27% | FC Ingolstadt 04 23%. Fair-value odds: Werder Bremen 2.00 | Draw 3.70 | FC Ingolstadt 04 4.35. Werder Bremen hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.87 / 1.22) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Werder Bremen are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Werder Bremen if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.08 combined xG gives a 60% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates are neutral: Werder Bremen 50% | FC Ingolstadt 04 50%.
