📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Kocaelispor beat Galatasaray 1-0 at Yıldız Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu, Regular Season - 12, in the Süper Lig. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Kocaelispor 0.73 xG and Galatasaray 1.49 xG, a combined 2.22. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Galatasaray landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Kocaelispor attack 0.84 / defence 0.83 against Galatasaray attack 1.39 / defence 0.68, drawn from 11/47 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Kocaelispor 16% | Draw 31% | Galatasaray 53%, with Galatasaray to win its most likely call at 53%. Instead the game produced a Kocaelispor win, an outcome the model had rated at just 16% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 67% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Kocaelispor 27%, Galatasaray 64%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Kocaelispor's trading profile (11 games, 5 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not.

Galatasaray's trading profile (11 games, 5 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 54% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Galatasaray arrived the stronger side — 2.64 PPG against 1.00. Form was overturned, with Kocaelispor winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Galatasaray (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.40 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 1 against a 0.20 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
