SC Freiburg vs Motherwell: Over 2.5 goals

Robbo's Verdict
The model rates the chance of more than 2.5 goals at 65%, driven by Motherwell's strong away attack and the high BTTS probability.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has SC Freiburg at 25.8%, the draw at 21.7%, and Motherwell at 52.5% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
