Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects SC Paderborn 07 1.32 xG and SV Sandhausen 1.57 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 1.058 / defence 1.174 | SV Sandhausen attack 0.911 / defence 1.081. League average goals — home 1.155 / away 1.466.

Result probabilities: SC Paderborn 07 29% | Draw 31% | SV Sandhausen 40%. Fair-value odds: SC Paderborn 07 3.45 | Draw 3.23 | SV Sandhausen 2.50. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 2.89. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.89 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.32 / 1.57) 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, SV Sandhausen are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on SV Sandhausen 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 2.89 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: SC Paderborn 07 70% | SV Sandhausen 70% BTTS from recent games.
