Across the last 4 meetings, Beşiktaş have the stronger historical record — 3 wins to Fatih Karagümrük's 0, with 1 draws in the mix.

It is worth noting that Beşiktaş have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 3 wins from 4 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.

Trading Data

Fatih Karagümrük goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (36 games, 18 at home): they score before half-time in 89% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 72% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 72% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 53%.

Beşiktaş goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (36 games, 18 at away): they score before half-time in 89% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; they lead at the break 59% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Fatih Karagümrük 69% and Beşiktaş 61% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Fatih Karagümrük 72% | Beşiktaş 64%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fatih Karagümrük 1.52 xG and Beşiktaş 1.90 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: Fatih Karagümrük attack 1.156 / defence 1.002 | Beşiktaş attack 1.282 / defence 0.841. League average goals — home 1.566 / away 1.477. Beşiktaş have an above-average attack strength of 1.282 — the away xG of 1.90 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 36 Fatih Karagümrük games / 36 Beşiktaş games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Fatih Karagümrük 30% | Draw 24% | Beşiktaş 46%. Fair-value odds: Fatih Karagümrük 3.33 | Draw 4.17 | Beşiktaş 2.17. Beşiktaş hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.42. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.42 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 67% reflects that both xG figures (1.52 / 1.90) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Beşiktaş as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Beşiktaş if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.42 combined xG gives a 66% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 67%. Form rates corroborate: Fatih Karagümrük 70% | Beşiktaş 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 30% 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. The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (36 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
