Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects FC Seoul 1.75 xG and Gimcheon Sangmu FC 1.42 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: FC Seoul attack 1.077 / defence 1.079 | Gimcheon Sangmu FC attack 1.069 / defence 1.081. League average goals — home 1.507 / away 1.226. Data: 66 FC Seoul games / 66 Gimcheon Sangmu FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: FC Seoul 45% | Draw 25% | Gimcheon Sangmu FC 30%. Fair-value odds: FC Seoul 2.22 | Draw 4.00 | Gimcheon Sangmu FC 3.33. FC Seoul hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.17. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.17 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.75 / 1.42) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, FC Seoul are the pick at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC Seoul if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.17 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 63% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: FC Seoul 80% | Gimcheon Sangmu FC 70% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
