⇄ Why the estimates differ

The model’s stronger home assessment could be associated with Augsburg’s unbeaten home results in the listed run, including draws against Bayern and Leverkusen, their higher attacking xG, and recent head-to-head results that include an Augsburg win and two draws. Their recent matches have also been high-scoring, which may support a more competitive home projection. The market estimate may reflect Freiburg’s stronger season record, higher table position, better goal difference, and much lower defensive xG allowed. Freiburg also have two wins in their last five, while Augsburg have no wins in that sequence. The gap may additionally reflect the different unavailable players: Augsburg list nine injuries, while Freiburg list several injuries and two suspensions. These factors point in different directions across home form, season performance, defensive metrics, and squad availability.

Gap of 8.1 percentage points, and the two estimates favour different outcomes.
