Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 6 previous meetings, Sivasspor have won 2, Galatasaray 3, with 1 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Sivasspor 1.01 xG and Galatasaray 1.68 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: Sivasspor attack 0.907 / defence 0.934 | Galatasaray attack 1.437 / defence 0.705. League average goals — home 1.589 / away 1.252. Galatasaray's defence strength of 0.705 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Galatasaray have an above-average attack strength of 1.437 — the away xG of 1.68 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 52 Sivasspor games / 51 Galatasaray games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Sivasspor 22% | Draw 27% | Galatasaray 52%. Fair-value odds: Sivasspor 4.55 | Draw 3.70 | Galatasaray 1.92. Galatasaray hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.69. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.69 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Galatasaray at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Galatasaray offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.69 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 51% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. Form rates corroborate: Sivasspor 50% | Galatasaray 60% BTTS from recent games.
