Full Analysis
plays host to Erzurumspor FK versus Kocaelispor in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 14. Kick-off: Sunday 6 December 2026 at 10:30 UTC.
Current Form
Erzurumspor FK's overall Süper Lig record this term: 3W 2D 3L from 8 games (1.38 PPG). Last five: W L W D W. They are averaging 0.62 goals per game and conceding 1.38 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets from 8 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in only 12% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence. This season is still relatively young for Erzurumspor FK, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Erzurumspor FK's form when playing at home: 3W 0D 1L across 4 games at this term (2.25 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 3 clean sheets from 4 home games (75%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at . Their home PPG of 2.25 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.38 — Erzurumspor FK are significantly better at than their overall form suggests.
Kocaelispor have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 4W 0D 6L. Last five: W L W L L. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. 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 Kocaelispor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Süper Lig this season, Kocaelispor have posted 2W 2D 6L from 10 away outings — 0.80 PPG. Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.38 for Erzurumspor FK, 1.20 for Kocaelispor — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Trading & In-Play
Erzurumspor FK — key trading statistics (8 games, 4 at home): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 0% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time; they fail to score in 50% of games.
Kocaelispor — key trading statistics (8 games, 4 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams show low combined scoring rates (Erzurumspor FK 12% | Kocaelispor 38%). Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Erzurumspor FK 38% | Kocaelispor 38%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Erzurumspor FK 1.06 xG and Kocaelispor 1.02 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: Erzurumspor FK attack 0.738 / defence 1.010 | Kocaelispor attack 0.848 / defence 0.916. League average goals — home 1.574 / away 1.187. Erzurumspor FK's attack strength of 0.738 is below the league average — the 1.06 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 8 Erzurumspor FK games / 42 Kocaelispor games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Erzurumspor FK 36% | Draw 30% | Kocaelispor 34%. Fair-value odds: Erzurumspor FK 2.78 | Draw 3.33 | Kocaelispor 2.94. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 35% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.08. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 65% probability — total xG of 2.08 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 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Erzurumspor FK are the pick at 36% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Erzurumspor FK if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.08 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 35% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 42% on No. Form rates corroborate: Erzurumspor FK 0% | Kocaelispor 40% BTTS from recent games.
The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
