Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Adana Demirspor 2.38 xG and Rizespor 1.30 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: Adana Demirspor attack 1.292 / defence 1.031 | Rizespor attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 1.603 / away 1.487. Adana Demirspor carry an above-average attack rating of 1.292 — their 2.38 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Adana Demirspor's last 36 games and Rizespor's last 0. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Adana Demirspor 61% | Draw 20% | Rizespor 19%. Fair-value odds: Adana Demirspor 1.65 | Draw 4.95 | Rizespor 5.23. The model has a clear lean to Adana Demirspor (61%) — a 41pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS Yes probability 67% | Total xG 3.68. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.68 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% — both xG figures (2.38 / 1.30) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Adana Demirspor at 61% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.68 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 71% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's sample (Adana Demirspor 36 games, Rizespor 0) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
