✍️ Match Preview

Fixture Analysis

It is a Süper Lig clash, Regular Season - 12 as Başakşehir welcome Çorum FK to Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium. Kick-off is set for Sunday 22 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC.

Form Analysis

Looking at all fixtures this season, Başakşehir stand at 5W 3D 2L from 10 Süper Lig matches — 1.80 PPG. Last five: W W W L D. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 0.80 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Başakşehir have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Başakşehir's form when playing at home: 6W 3D 1L across 10 games at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium this term (2.10 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.

Across all Süper Lig games this season, Çorum FK have recorded 0W 1D 2L from 3 outings — 0.33 PPG. Last five: D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.33 per game is modest, conceding 3.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 3.00 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. Both teams have scored in 67% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Çorum FK have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Başakşehir are in the better shape of the two on current Süper Lig data — 1.47 PPG ahead (1.80 vs 0.33). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

In-Play Data

Başakşehir trading profile (3 games): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures; they lead at the break 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games.

Çorum FK trading profile (3 games): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games; Over 3.5 in 67%; they fail to score in 33% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Başakşehir 67% and Çorum FK 67% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Başakşehir 33% | Çorum FK 67%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Başakşehir 2.62 xG and Çorum FK 1.06 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: Başakşehir attack 1.141 / defence 0.799 | Çorum FK attack 1.087 / defence 1.571. League average goals — home 1.461 / away 1.217. Çorum FK bring a strong defensive rating of 1.571 — this is suppressing Başakşehir's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Başakşehir's defence rating of 0.799 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 37 Başakşehir games / 3 Çorum FK games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Başakşehir 71% | Draw 16% | Çorum FK 13%. Fair-value odds: Başakşehir 1.41 | Draw 6.25 | Çorum FK 7.69. The model has a clear lean to Başakşehir (71%) — a 58pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 3.67. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.67 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (2.62 / 1.06) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Başakşehir are the pick at 71% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

Poisson projects 3.67 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 71% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.6 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 60%. Form rates are neutral: Başakşehir 40% | Çorum FK 67%.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (3 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
