H2H

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kocaelispor 1.40 xG and Alanyaspor 0.93 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: Kocaelispor attack 0.934 / defence 0.833 | Alanyaspor attack 0.899 / defence 1.020. League average goals — home 1.470 / away 1.243. Data: 37 Kocaelispor games / 37 Alanyaspor games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Kocaelispor 48% | Draw 27% | Alanyaspor 25%. Fair-value odds: Kocaelispor 2.08 | Draw 3.70 | Alanyaspor 4.00. Kocaelispor hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.33. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.33 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Kocaelispor as the most likely outcome at 48% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Kocaelispor offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.33 combined xG gives a 41% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 46% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Kocaelispor 40% | Alanyaspor 80% from recent games — a notable divergence.
