Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 1.38 xG and Eintracht Frankfurt 1.76 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 Paderborn 07 attack 0.637 / defence 1.087 | Eintracht Frankfurt attack 1.204 / defence 1.089. League average goals — home 1.981 / away 1.344. SC Paderborn 07's attack strength of 0.637 is below the league average — the 1.38 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Eintracht Frankfurt have an above-average attack strength of 1.204 — the away xG of 1.76 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 2 SC Paderborn 07 games / 35 Eintracht Frankfurt games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 29% | Draw 25% | Eintracht Frankfurt 46%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 3.45 | Draw 4.00 | Eintracht Frankfurt 2.17. Eintracht Frankfurt hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.38 / 1.76) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Eintracht Frankfurt as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form SC Paderborn 07 (1.30 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Eintracht Frankfurt if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.13 combined xG gives a 61% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.8 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 63%. Form rates corroborate: SC Paderborn 07 90% | Eintracht Frankfurt 90% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (2 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
