Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Jeju United FC 0.91 xG and Gimcheon Sangmu FC 1.14 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: Jeju United FC attack 0.841 / defence 0.903 | Gimcheon Sangmu FC attack 1.032 / defence 1.058. League average goals — home 1.021 / away 1.225.

Result probabilities: Jeju United FC 27% | Draw 34% | Gimcheon Sangmu FC 39%. Fair-value odds: Jeju United FC 3.70 | Draw 2.94 | Gimcheon Sangmu FC 2.56. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 34% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 34% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.05. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 66% probability — total xG of 2.05 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
