Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Suwon Bluewings 1.56 xG and Incheon United 1.18 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: Suwon Bluewings attack 1.076 / defence 1.196 | Incheon United attack 0.766 / defence 1.520. League average goals — home 0.952 / away 1.284. Incheon United bring a strong defensive rating of 1.520 — this is suppressing Suwon Bluewings's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest.

Result probabilities: Suwon Bluewings 45% | Draw 28% | Incheon United 27%. Fair-value odds: Suwon Bluewings 2.22 | Draw 3.57 | Incheon United 3.70. Suwon Bluewings hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 2.73.
