Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gaziantep FK 1.75 xG and Kayserispor 0.71 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: Gaziantep FK attack 0.916 / defence 0.724 | Kayserispor attack 0.830 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.658 / away 1.185. Gaziantep FK's defence rating of 0.724 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 63 Gaziantep FK games / 63 Kayserispor games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gaziantep FK 62% | Draw 24% | Kayserispor 14%. Fair-value odds: Gaziantep FK 1.61 | Draw 4.17 | Kayserispor 7.14. The model has a clear lean to Gaziantep FK (62%) — a 48pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

The Poisson model projects 2.46 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 45% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 42% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Gaziantep FK 40% | Kayserispor 50% BTTS from recent games.
