⇄ Why the estimates differ

The estimates appear to process the recent and season data differently. Borussia Mönchengladbach’s record is poor: one win and six losses, a negative goal difference, last place, and five defeats in their last six matches. Their defensive xG figure is also high, while a long list of unavailable players may increase uncertainty about team strength. These details could support a lower home assessment.

Paderborn’s season record is stronger, with fewer losses, more points from recent results, and a better table position, although their attack has produced relatively little and their own xG figure is lower. The bookmaker estimate places substantially more weight on Gladbach’s home advantage or on factors not captured in the supplied model inputs, while the statistical estimate gives more weight to recent results, season performance, defensive vulnerability, and absences. The announced line-ups provide no additional explanation because they are unavailable.

Gap of 11.6 percentage points, and the two estimates favour different outcomes.
