Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gimcheon Sangmu FC 1.24 xG and Jeju United FC 1.38 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Gimcheon Sangmu FC attack 0.861 / defence 1.025 | Jeju United FC attack 1.015 / defence 1.136. League average goals — home 1.269 / away 1.328. Data: 66 Gimcheon Sangmu FC games / 66 Jeju United FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 31% | Draw 32% | Jeju United FC 37%. Fair-value odds: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 3.23 | Draw 3.12 | Jeju United FC 2.70. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 2.62. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.62 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Jeju United FC are the pick at 37% — marginal model lean. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Jeju United FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.62 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 49% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. Form rates corroborate: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 60% | Jeju United FC 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
