✍️ Match Preview
Analysis & Preview
A Süper Lig encounter, Regular Season - 18 sees Trabzonspor travel to Yıldız Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu to take on Kocaelispor. The game is scheduled for Sunday 18 January 2026, 14:00 UTC.
Form Guide
Kocaelispor — All Games: 6W 3D 1L from 10 Süper Lig outings this season, averaging 2.10 points per game. Last five: D W D D W. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.50 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Kocaelispor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Kocaelispor at Yıldız Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu this season: 5W 3D 1L from 9 home games — 2.00 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 0.44 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 9 home games (56%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Yıldız Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Trabzonspor stand at 6W 3D 1L from 10 Süper Lig matches — 2.10 PPG. Last five: W W W D L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.40 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Trabzonspor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Trabzonspor away from home this season: 6W 2D 2L from 10 away games — 2.00 PPG on the road. They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Kocaelispor at 2.10 PPG versus Trabzonspor's 2.10. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
Head to Head
There is little to separate the sides historically. From 1 previous meetings, Kocaelispor have won 0, Trabzonspor 1, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.
These sides have historically produced few goals — 1.0 per contest from 1 previous meetings. The Under 2.5 market has a well-supported historical case here. The most recent clash, on 11 Aug 2025, ended 0–1 with Trabzonspor winning.
With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.
In-Play Profile
Kocaelispor in-play tendencies (17 games, 8 at home): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 12% of games (home games); they fail to score in 35% of games.
Trabzonspor in-play tendencies (17 games, 8 at away): they score before half-time in 62% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Kocaelispor 41% versus Trabzonspor 59%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Kocaelispor 24% | Trabzonspor 47%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Kocaelispor 1.28 xG and Trabzonspor 1.32 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 0.845 / defence 0.763 | Trabzonspor attack 1.356 / defence 1.154. League average goals — home 1.316 / away 1.279. Trabzonspor have an above-average attack strength of 1.356 — the away xG of 1.32 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Kocaelispor's defence rating of 0.763 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 17 Kocaelispor games / 53 Trabzonspor games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Kocaelispor 32% | Draw 34% | Trabzonspor 34%. Fair-value odds: Kocaelispor 3.12 | Draw 2.94 | Trabzonspor 2.94. The draw (34%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 34% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 32% and away win at 34% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
The Poisson model projects 2.61 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 48% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Kocaelispor 33% | Trabzonspor 60%.
The outsider holds a 32% 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.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Trabzonspor beat Kocaelispor 1-2 at Yıldız Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu, Regular Season - 18, in the Süper Lig. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Kocaelispor 1.28 xG and Trabzonspor 1.32 xG, a combined 2.61. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Kocaelispor attack 0.84 / defence 0.76 against Trabzonspor attack 1.36 / defence 1.15, drawn from 17/53 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Kocaelispor 32% | Draw 34% | Trabzonspor 34%, with Trabzonspor to win its most likely call at 34%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 48%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 77% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 35% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Kocaelispor 24%, Trabzonspor 47%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Kocaelispor's trading profile (17 games, 8 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.
Trabzonspor's trading profile (17 games, 8 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
On form, Trabzonspor arrived the stronger side — 2.06 PPG against 1.35. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Kocaelispor (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.38 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
