Full Analysis
Sungui Arena Park plays host to Incheon United versus Gwangju FC in K League 1, Regular Season - 16. Kick-off: Saturday 15 May 2021 at 11:00 UTC.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Incheon United 1.04 xG and Gwangju FC 0.87 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: Incheon United attack 0.841 / defence 1.046 | Gwangju FC attack 0.787 / defence 1.299. League average goals — home 0.947 / away 1.060. Gwangju FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.299 — this is suppressing Incheon United's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 15 Incheon United games / 14 Gwangju FC games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Incheon United 36% | Draw 36% | Gwangju FC 28%. Fair-value odds: Incheon United 2.78 | Draw 2.78 | Gwangju FC 3.57. The draw (36%) 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 30% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 1.91. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 70% probability — total xG of 1.91 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 36% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 36% and away win at 28% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
Poisson projects 1.91 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 30% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Model vs The Result

Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 30%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 59% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 40% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
