Solid · Balanced attack

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Won

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

The cup tie pits a Regionalliga side against a 2. Bundesliga outfit, but the numbers suggest a tighter contest than the league gap would imply. Both clubs have an xG of 1.35, meaning the model expects a roughly equal attacking output from each side.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score – Yes Won Solid lean Solid · Balanced attack

The model assigns a 54.9% chance to both sides finding the net, driven by equal xG values and a recent head‑to‑head trend of high‑scoring encounters.

Show the maths

Both clubs sit at an expected‑goals figure of 1.35, so the model predicts a combined xG of 2.70 for the fixture. Converting that combined xG into a probability yields just over a 50% chance of the total exceeding 2.5 goals, which aligns with a BTTS likelihood above 50%. The BTTS probability of 54.9% is therefore a direct result of the twin 1.35 xG values, confirming that each side is statistically likely to score at least once.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Preußen Münster averaging 1.35 expected goals and Karlsruher SC 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 (Preußen Münster 1.35, Karlsruher SC 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 (Preußen Münster 1.35 + Karlsruher SC 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 (Preußen Münster 1.35 + Karlsruher SC 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 Preußen Münster at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Karlsruher SC 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.
