✍️ Match Preview

Analysis & Preview

A Süper Lig encounter, Regular Season - 16 sees Erzurumspor FK travel to Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium to take on Başakşehir. The game is scheduled for Sunday 20 December 2026, 12:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Süper Lig games this season, Başakşehir have gone 5W 2D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.70 PPG return. Last five: W W L D L. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Başakşehir have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Başakşehir's home record at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium: 6W 2D 2L from 10 Süper Lig appearances (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Erzurumspor FK stand at 1W 1D 2L from 4 Süper Lig matches — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L L D W. Their scoring rate of 0.50 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 1 clean sheet from 4 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in only 25% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No. Erzurumspor FK have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Başakşehir are in the better shape of the two on current Süper Lig data — 0.70 PPG ahead (1.70 vs 1.00). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Başakşehir 2.07 xG and Erzurumspor FK 0.86 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: Başakşehir attack 1.183 / defence 0.955 | Erzurumspor FK attack 0.727 / defence 1.189. League average goals — home 1.470 / away 1.243. Data: 38 Başakşehir games / 3 Erzurumspor FK games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Başakşehir 65% | Draw 20% | Erzurumspor FK 15%. Fair-value odds: Başakşehir 1.54 | Draw 5.00 | Erzurumspor FK 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Başakşehir (65%) — a 50pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.93. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.93 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Başakşehir as the most likely outcome at 65% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. 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 2.93 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. This conflicts with form data: Başakşehir 40% | Erzurumspor FK 25% from recent games — a notable divergence.
