Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

61.8% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

60.9% model probability

The cup tie pits a third‑tier side against a Bundesliga outfit that has been scoring at an average of 1.8 goals per away game this season. Hoffenheim’s recent league run of four wins, a draw and a loss shows they can both dominate and be vulnerable, while Aue’s scoring record at home is effectively zero.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong

Both teams to score - Yes Lost Strong lean Strong · High BTTS likelihood

The model’s 61.8 % BTTS probability, driven by Hoffenheim’s 1.8 GF average and Aue’s defensive frailties, makes both sides scoring the most reliable outcome.

Show the maths

The model calculates expected goals of 1.35 for Aue and 1.8 for Hoffenheim, summing to 3.15 combined xG. This exceeds the 2.5‑goal threshold, giving a 60.9 % chance of over 2.5 goals. Because each side’s xG is above 1.0, the probability that both will score rises to 61.8 %, which directly supports the BTTS‑Yes pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 61.8% model probability

With Erzgebirge Aue averaging 1.35 expected goals and 1899 Hoffenheim averaging 1.8, the model gives a 61.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 38.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Erzgebirge Aue 1.35, 1899 Hoffenheim 1.8) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 61.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 38.2% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 60.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.2 (Erzgebirge Aue 1.35 + 1899 Hoffenheim 1.8) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 60.9% chance against 39.1% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Erzgebirge Aue 1.35 + 1899 Hoffenheim 1.8 = 3.2 combined): 60.9% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 39.1% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Erzgebirge Aue at 28.9%, the draw at 23.0%, and 1899 Hoffenheim at 48.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 10.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
