Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.50 — Jeonbuk Motors are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

Daegu FC's away record over their last 10 away games: 2W 3D 5L (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Jeonbuk Motors carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.50 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.50 vs 1.00. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

H2H Record

The H2H picture is flat: the 7 H2H matches we hold have produced 3 wins for Jeonbuk Motors, 3 for Daegu FC and 1 draw. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.7 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 10 Nov 2024, ended Jeonbuk Motors 3–1 Daegu FC — a Jeonbuk Motors win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.7 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Data

Jeonbuk Motors trading profile (last 78 games, 39 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 20 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

Daegu FC trading profile (last 78 games, 39 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 54% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 51% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 44% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Jeonbuk Motors 50% versus Daegu FC 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Jeonbuk Motors 45% | Daegu FC 45%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Jeonbuk Motors surrender their half-time lead 40% of the time, while Daegu FC have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 33% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Jeonbuk Motors 1.51 xG and Daegu FC 1.14 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: Jeonbuk Motors attack 1.051 / defence 1.124 | Daegu FC attack 0.921 / defence 1.237. League average goals — home 1.165 / away 1.102. Daegu FC's defence rating of 1.237 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Jeonbuk Motors's projected output up. Data: built from Jeonbuk Motors's last 41 games and Daegu FC's last 42.

Result probabilities: Jeonbuk Motors 46% | Draw 26% | Daegu FC 29%. Fair-value odds: Jeonbuk Motors 2.18 | Draw 3.92 | Daegu FC 3.50. Jeonbuk Motors hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.65. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.65 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Jeonbuk Motors as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Jeonbuk Motors offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.65 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 50% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.7 goals per game across 7 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Jeonbuk Motors 50% (last 10 home games) | Daegu FC 60% (last 10 away games).
