Full Analysis
Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu plays host to Kocaelispor versus Erzurumspor FK in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 31. Kick-off: Sunday 2 May 2027 at 12:00 UTC.
Current Form
Kocaelispor's overall Süper Lig record this term: 5W 1D 4L from 10 games (1.60 PPG). Last five: W L L W D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Kocaelispor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu, Kocaelispor have gone 3W 3D 4L this season (10 games, 1.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.80 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Erzurumspor FK have collected 1.40 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 4W 2D 4L. Last five: W D W W L. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for Erzurumspor FK, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Erzurumspor FK away from home this season: 1W 2D 2L from 5 away games — 1.00 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.60 for Kocaelispor, 1.40 for Erzurumspor FK — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Trading
Kocaelispor half-time and goal-timing data (10 games, 5 at home): they score before half-time in 60% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 20% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 20% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 30% of games.
Erzurumspor FK half-time and goal-timing data (10 games, 5 at away): they score before half-time in 20% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 40% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 40% of games.
The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams show low combined scoring rates (Kocaelispor 40% | Erzurumspor FK 30%). The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Kocaelispor 40% | Erzurumspor FK 50%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Kocaelispor 1.29 xG and Erzurumspor FK 0.69 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 0.801 / defence 0.685 | Erzurumspor FK attack 0.821 / defence 1.051. League average goals — home 1.536 / away 1.237. Kocaelispor's defence rating of 0.685 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 44 Kocaelispor games / 10 Erzurumspor FK games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Kocaelispor 51% | Draw 29% | Erzurumspor FK 20%. Fair-value odds: Kocaelispor 1.96 | Draw 3.45 | Erzurumspor FK 5.00. Kocaelispor hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 36% | Total xG 1.99. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 1.99 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 36% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Kocaelispor at 51% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Kocaelispor if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 1.99 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 32% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 36% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Kocaelispor 30% | Erzurumspor FK 40% BTTS from recent games.
