Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Göztepe 1.54 xG and Başakşehir 0.94 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: Göztepe attack 1.090 / defence 0.716 | Başakşehir attack 1.030 / defence 1.041. League average goals — home 1.357 / away 1.279. Göztepe's defence rating of 0.716 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 43 Göztepe games / 42 Başakşehir games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Göztepe 48% | Draw 31% | Başakşehir 20%. Fair-value odds: Göztepe 2.08 | Draw 3.23 | Başakşehir 5.00. Göztepe hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.48. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.48 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Göztepe are the pick at 48% — 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 Göztepe if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.48 combined xG gives a 45% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging only 4.0 goals per meeting point in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 51%. Form rates corroborate: Göztepe 70% | Başakşehir 70% BTTS from recent games.
