Model prediction

Why this prediction?

The model puts the most likely outcome at 52.5%: “SV Darmstadt 98 to win”. Second comes “a draw” at 25.0%.
Behind that distribution are the expected goals: 1.78 for SV Darmstadt 98, 1.12 for Preußen Münster.
The highest double chance value is 77.5% (1X — SV Darmstadt 98 win or draw).
These values were computed from 1,059 past matches.

This is a prediction, not a guarantee; a probability is not a certainty.

These sentences are built by a fixed template; every number in them comes straight from the model's computation, none invented while the text was written.

These values are not a fraction of the full-match prediction; they come from a separate model trained on the first-half scores of 1059 matches. Its edge over the base rate is markedly smaller than the full-match model's — the measured figure is on the accuracy record. Read them more cautiously. First-half goal markets are not published because they failed to beat the base rate.

Expected fouls and corners

Corners

SV Darmstadt 98: at least 5Actual: 7
Preußen Münster: at least 4Actual: 4

These figures are set to hold in at least 60% of matches; in the rest the count comes in below them. No upper bound is stated — we make no "at most" claim. Yellow cards were measured and are not published: there our model did not beat the historical average.

What these probabilities rest on

Expected goals comes out of a team's attack weighed against its opponent's defence. A strong attack is damped when it meets a strong defence — which is why comparing the ratings on their own is misleading.

How many goals SV Darmstadt 98 score1.76

Attack: SV Darmstadt 98 score close to the league average.

Opponent's defence: Preußen Münster's defence is close to the league average (0.95×), so it doesn't move the expectation much.

Result: These two effects give an expectation of 1.76 goals (including home advantage).

How many goals Preußen Münster score1.03

Attack: Preußen Münster score close to the league average.

Opponent's defence: SV Darmstadt 98 concede 16% fewer than the league average, which pulls the expectation down.

Result: These two effects give an expectation of 1.03 goals (including the away penalty).

Most likely scorelines

1–112.5%2–110.8%1–08.9%

A single scoreline is always less likely than an outcome: “home win” is the sum of 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 and dozens more. So the most likely single score can be a draw while the most likely outcome is a home win; the two do not contradict each other.
