Robbo's Take

Lean · Slight edge

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Won

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

The DFB‑Pokal opener pits a Regionalliga side against a 2. Bundesliga outfit, and while both clubs share identical expected‑goals, the cup’s knockout nature often produces open games.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Over 2.5 goals Won Solid lean Lean · Slight edge

Back the over on total goals, as the model places a slim but clear edge at 50.6 % for more than 2.5 goals.

Show the maths

The model gives each club a 1.35 expected‑goals value, meaning the combined xG is 2.70. Converting that to a probability distribution yields a 50.6 % chance of the total exceeding 2.5 goals. The over‑2.5 probability is the highest single‑market edge among the supplied options, justifying the pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Phönix Lübeck averaging 1.35 expected goals and SC Paderborn 07 averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Phönix Lübeck 1.35, SC Paderborn 07 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Phönix Lübeck 1.35 + SC Paderborn 07 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Phönix Lübeck 1.35 + SC Paderborn 07 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Phönix Lübeck at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and SC Paderborn 07 at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
