Over 2.5 Goals Won

60.9% model probability

The cup clash pits Bundesliga heavyweights Bayer Leverkusen against third‑tier SV Wehen. While Wehen’s home stats show no goals scored or conceded so far, Leverkusen arrive after a 1‑3 loss at Stuttgart and a 1‑1 draw with Hamburg, indicating they can both find the net and concede.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong

Over 2.5 goals Won Strong lean Strong · High over chance

Back the over‑2.5 goals market, as the combined expected‑goals of 3.15 and a 60.9% model probability make a high‑scoring game the most likely outcome.

Show the maths

The model adds each team’s expected goals – 1.35 for Wehen and 1.8 for Leverkusen – to get a combined xG of 3.15. That baseline exceeds the 2.5‑goal threshold, so the algorithm assigns a 60.9% probability to the over. The probability is further reinforced by the top‑scoring scorelines (1‑2 and 1‑1) that together account for roughly 20% of the distribution, confirming a clear tilt toward more than two goals.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 61.8% model probability

With SV Wehen averaging 1.35 expected goals and Bayer Leverkusen 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 (SV Wehen 1.35, Bayer Leverkusen 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 (SV Wehen 1.35 + Bayer Leverkusen 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 (SV Wehen 1.35 + Bayer Leverkusen 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 SV Wehen at 28.9%, the draw at 23.0%, and Bayer Leverkusen 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.
