Trading Patterns

Altay in-play and half-time data (28 games, 13 at home): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games); they fail to score in 39% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Altay 54% versus Yeni Malatyaspor 39%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Altay 54% | Yeni Malatyaspor 39%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Altay 1.09 xG and Yeni Malatyaspor 0.84 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: Altay attack 0.742 / defence 1.284 | Yeni Malatyaspor attack 0.550 / defence 1.237. League average goals — home 1.190 / away 1.188. Altay's attack strength of 0.742 is below the league average — the 1.09 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Yeni Malatyaspor bring a strong defensive rating of 1.237 — this is suppressing Altay's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 28 Altay games / 28 Yeni Malatyaspor games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Altay 41% | Draw 32% | Yeni Malatyaspor 27%. Fair-value odds: Altay 2.44 | Draw 3.12 | Yeni Malatyaspor 3.70. 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 30% | BTTS probability 38% | Total xG 1.93. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 70% probability — total xG of 1.93 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 38% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Altay are the pick at 41% — marginal model lean. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Altay offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 1.93 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 30% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 38%. Form rates corroborate: Altay 60% | Yeni Malatyaspor 20% BTTS from recent games.
