Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gwangju FC 0.89 xG and Jeju United FC 1.94 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: Gwangju FC attack 0.827 / defence 1.367 | Jeju United FC attack 1.052 / defence 0.925. League average goals — home 1.165 / away 1.350. Data: 60 Gwangju FC games / 60 Jeju United FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gwangju FC 14% | Draw 27% | Jeju United FC 59%. Fair-value odds: Gwangju FC 7.14 | Draw 3.70 | Jeju United FC 1.69. The model has a clear lean to Jeju United FC (59%) — a 45pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.83. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.83 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

Gwangju FC dominate the H2H record, yet Jeju United FC are the in-form side right now — historical edge versus current momentum creates a genuine dilemma.

The Poisson model's primary lean is Jeju United FC at 59% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.83 combined xG gives a 54% probability to Over 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 1.7 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. Form rates corroborate: Gwangju FC 50% | Jeju United FC 60% BTTS from recent games.
