Trading & In-Play
Arminia Bielefeld — key trading statistics (38 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 84% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 40%.
SpVgg Greuther Fürth — key trading statistics (38 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 63% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); they fail to score in 32% of games.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Arminia Bielefeld 66% and SpVgg Greuther Fürth 58% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Arminia Bielefeld 58% | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 60%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Arminia Bielefeld 2.05 xG and SpVgg Greuther Fürth 1.46 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: Arminia Bielefeld attack 1.098 / defence 0.844 | SpVgg Greuther Fürth attack 1.049 / defence 1.072. League average goals — home 1.742 / away 1.645. Data: 38 Arminia Bielefeld games / 37 SpVgg Greuther Fürth games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Arminia Bielefeld 51% | Draw 21% | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 27%. Fair-value odds: Arminia Bielefeld 1.96 | Draw 4.76 | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 3.70. Arminia Bielefeld hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (21%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.51. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.51 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 67% reflects that both xG figures (2.05 / 1.46) 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, Arminia Bielefeld are the pick at 51% — moderate model lean.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.51 combined xG gives a 68% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 67%. Form rates corroborate: Arminia Bielefeld 80% | SpVgg Greuther Fürth 70% BTTS from recent games.
