SSV Jeddeloh vs 1. FC Heidenheim: SSV Jeddeloh to win
SSV Jeddeloh enter the DFB‑Pokal clash with a 1.35 expected‑goals edge over Heidenheim’s 1.1, and the model assigns them the highest win probability at 42.5%. The cup’s knockout format rewards a single‑match edge, making an upset plausible.
Both sides know that a cup tie can turn on a moment of quality, and Jeddeloh will be keen to prove they can compete with a 2. Bundesliga outfit. Heidenheim, fresh from a 3‑1 win away at Köln, must avoid a repeat of their 0‑2 loss at home to Mainz as they look to progress.
Robbo's Verdict
With a higher expected‑goals figure and the model’s top win probability of 42.5%, Jeddeloh are the most likely side to take all three points in this tie.
Show the maths
With SSV Jeddeloh averaging 1.35 expected goals and 1. FC Heidenheim averaging 1.1, the model gives a 50.6% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.4% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.5 (SSV Jeddeloh 1.35 + 1. FC Heidenheim 1.1) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 55.7% chance against 44.3% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has SSV Jeddeloh at 42.5%, the draw at 27.1%, and 1. FC Heidenheim at 30.5% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.8% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Head-to-Head
The last head‑to‑head meeting in August 2018 ended 5‑2 to Heidenheim, a result that historically favoured the higher‑division side but does not negate the current expected‑goals edge for Jeddeloh.
