Leading scorers: Werder Bremen and SC Paderborn 07

Werder Bremen

  • N. Füllkrug3 goals
  • M. Grüll2 goals3 assists

SC Paderborn 07

No player in Bundesliga's leading scorers — 3 league goals as a side.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Werder Bremen carry a model rating of 6.73 against 6.77 for SC Paderborn 07. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.26 goals for Werder Bremen and 1.07 for SC Paderborn 07. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Werder Bremen rate 0.82 in attack and 1.05 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; SC Paderborn 07 rate 0.66 and 0.84.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it.
