H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 6 H2H matches in our data, Daegu FC edge it 2 wins to 1, with 3 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage.

The 6 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 18 Oct 2024, ended Gwangju FC 1–1 Daegu FC — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gwangju FC 1.41 xG and Daegu FC 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: Gwangju FC attack 1.051 / defence 1.057 | Daegu FC attack 0.962 / defence 1.214. League average goals — home 1.102 / away 1.038. Daegu FC's defence rating of 1.214 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Gwangju FC's projected output up. Data: built from Gwangju FC's last 40 games and Daegu FC's last 40.

Result probabilities: Gwangju FC 45% | Draw 27% | Daegu FC 28%. Fair-value odds: Gwangju FC 2.22 | Draw 3.74 | Daegu FC 3.53. Gwangju FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS Yes probability 49% | Total xG 2.46. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.46 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 51% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Gwangju FC at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Gwangju FC if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.46 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 51%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Gwangju FC 50% (last 10 home games) | Daegu FC 60% (last 10 away games).
