Bayern München half-time and goal-timing data (21 games, 10 at away): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures in away games; they lead at the break 52% of the time; BTTS occurs in 70% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 62%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Eintracht Frankfurt 81% and Bayern München 76% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Eintracht Frankfurt 62% | Bayern München 81%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Eintracht Frankfurt 1.50 xG and Bayern München 1.56 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: Eintracht Frankfurt attack 1.228 / defence 1.010 | Bayern München attack 1.065 / defence 1.032. League average goals — home 1.183 / away 1.448. Data: 21 Eintracht Frankfurt games / 21 Bayern München games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Eintracht Frankfurt 35% | Draw 27% | Bayern München 38%. Fair-value odds: Eintracht Frankfurt 2.86 | Draw 3.70 | Bayern München 2.63. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.50 / 1.56) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Bayern München at 38% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Bayern München if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.06 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Eintracht Frankfurt 90% | Bayern München 70% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
