Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Ulsan Hyundai FC 1.38 xG and Jeju United FC 1.70 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: Ulsan Hyundai FC attack 1.334 / defence 1.052 | Jeju United FC attack 1.230 / defence 0.796. League average goals — home 1.303 / away 1.310. Ulsan Hyundai FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.334 — their λ of 1.38 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Jeju United FC's defence strength of 0.796 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Jeju United FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.230 — the away xG of 1.70 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 50 Ulsan Hyundai FC games / 50 Jeju United FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Ulsan Hyundai FC 31% | Draw 24% | Jeju United FC 45%. Fair-value odds: Ulsan Hyundai FC 3.23 | Draw 4.17 | Jeju United FC 2.22. Jeju United FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.38 / 1.70) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Jeju United FC at 45% — moderate model lean.

Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Jeju United FC if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.08 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Ulsan Hyundai FC 70% | Jeju United FC 70% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% 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.
