Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Heidenheim to win as the most likely result (50%). It gives Heidenheim 50% at home, a draw 19% and Cottbus 31%, so its call is 1: Heidenheim to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 67% / 18% / 15%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 2.6 for Heidenheim and 2.0 for Cottbus; the single most likely score is 2-2. Careful: there is little recent data on Heidenheim, Cottbus, usually a promoted side, and the market tends to be right about those.
Rebuilt after kick-off using only matches played before it. A double chance (1X, X2, 12) is called when the top two results are within 10 points.
