Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 2 H2H matches, Incheon United have won 0, Jeonbuk Motors 1, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.0 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold, giving Under 2.5 a clear head-to-head base rate. The most recent of those, on 6 Aug 2023, ended Incheon United 0–2 Jeonbuk Motors — a Jeonbuk Motors win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading Patterns

Incheon United in-play and half-time data (last 73 games, 36 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 61% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 23 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 39%; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 31% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

Jeonbuk Motors in-play and half-time data (last 73 games, 36 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 52% of those occasions; of the 22 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 27%; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 43%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Incheon United 48% versus Jeonbuk Motors 51%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Incheon United 37% | Jeonbuk Motors 40%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Incheon United surrender their half-time lead 39% of the time, while Jeonbuk Motors have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 43% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Incheon United 0.98 xG and Jeonbuk Motors 0.97 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: Incheon United attack 1.033 / defence 0.922 | Jeonbuk Motors attack 0.936 / defence 0.768. League average goals — home 1.233 / away 1.130. Jeonbuk Motors bring a tight defence (rating 0.768, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Incheon United's projected output down. Data: built from Incheon United's last 66 games and Jeonbuk Motors's last 66.

Result probabilities: Incheon United 34% | Draw 33% | Jeonbuk Motors 34%. Fair-value odds: Incheon United 2.96 | Draw 3.08 | Jeonbuk Motors 2.97. The model can't separate the sides — both are rated at 34% to win, with the draw at 33%. There is no result lean here.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 31% | BTTS Yes probability 39% | Total xG 1.95. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 69% probability — total xG of 1.95 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 61% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

The Poisson model can't separate the sides — Incheon United 34% and Jeonbuk Motors 34%, with the draw at 33%. There is no result lean from the model; the goals and BTTS markets below are where it has a view.

Poisson projects 1.95 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 69% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Incheon United's last 10 home games and Jeonbuk Motors's last 10 away games) averaging 2.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Incheon United 50% (last 10 home games) | Jeonbuk Motors 40% (last 10 away games).
