They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Kocaelispor have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Çorum FK's overall Süper Lig record this term: 1W 1D 2L from 4 games (1.00 PPG). Last five: D L L W. They are scoring at 1.75 per game and conceding 2.25. Conceding 2.25 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 1 clean sheet from 4 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Çorum FK have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.20 for Kocaelispor, 1.00 for Çorum FK — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

Trading Data

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Kocaelispor 25% versus Çorum FK 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Kocaelispor 25% | Çorum FK 75%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kocaelispor 2.11 xG and Çorum FK 0.93 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: Kocaelispor attack 0.885 / defence 0.703 | Çorum FK attack 1.071 / defence 1.543. League average goals — home 1.547 / away 1.230. Çorum FK bring a strong defensive rating of 1.543 — this is suppressing Kocaelispor's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Kocaelispor's defence rating of 0.703 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 38 Kocaelispor games / 4 Çorum FK games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Kocaelispor 65% | Draw 20% | Çorum FK 15%. Fair-value odds: Kocaelispor 1.54 | Draw 5.00 | Çorum FK 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Kocaelispor (65%) — a 50pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Kocaelispor as the most likely outcome at 65% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.04 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Kocaelispor 30% | Çorum FK 50% from recent games — a notable divergence.
