Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 2.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.10 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gimcheon Sangmu FC 1.18 xG and Suwon City FC 0.60 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: Gimcheon Sangmu FC attack 0.902 / defence 0.800 | Suwon City FC attack 0.646 / defence 1.160. League average goals — home 1.130 / away 1.172. Data: 49 Gimcheon Sangmu FC games / 49 Suwon City FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 50% | Draw 31% | Suwon City FC 19%. Fair-value odds: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 2.00 | Draw 3.23 | Suwon City FC 5.26. Gimcheon Sangmu FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 27% | BTTS probability 31% | Total xG 1.79. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 73% probability — total xG of 1.79 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 69% — Suwon City FC's lower xG of 0.60 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 31%.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Gimcheon Sangmu FC as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Gimcheon Sangmu FC if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 1.79 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 27% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 3.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 31% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 40% | Suwon City FC 70%.
