Trading Data

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Fenerbahçe 52% versus Gaziantep FK 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fenerbahçe 66% | Gaziantep FK 54%). Note also that Gaziantep FK surrender HT leads in 36% of cases while Fenerbahçe recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 71% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fenerbahçe 2.67 xG and Gaziantep FK 1.08 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: Fenerbahçe attack 1.279 / defence 0.785 | Gaziantep FK attack 1.069 / defence 1.329. League average goals — home 1.568 / away 1.288. Fenerbahçe carry an above-average attack rating of 1.279 — their 2.67 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Gaziantep FK's defence rating of 1.329 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Fenerbahçe's projected output up. Fenerbahçe have a tight defence (rating 0.785), which is pulling Gaziantep FK's projected output down. Data: built from Fenerbahçe's last 50 games and Gaziantep FK's last 50.

Result probabilities: Fenerbahçe 70% | Draw 18% | Gaziantep FK 12%. Fair-value odds: Fenerbahçe 1.43 | Draw 5.67 | Gaziantep FK 8.20. The model has a clear lean to Fenerbahçe (70%) — a 52pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 72% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.75. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 72% — a total xG of 3.75 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 62% — both xG figures (2.67 / 1.08) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Fenerbahçe as the most likely outcome at 70% — clear model lean. Recent form and the head-to-head data both align with the Poisson read — multi-source corroboration increases confidence in this selection. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.75 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 72% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Fenerbahçe's last 10 home games and Gaziantep FK's last 10 away games) averaging 3.9 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Fenerbahçe 40% (last 10 home games) | Gaziantep FK 80% (last 10 away games).
