Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gençlerbirliği S.K. 1.37 xG and Trabzonspor 1.58 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: Gençlerbirliği S.K. attack 0.881 / defence 1.029 | Trabzonspor attack 1.222 / defence 0.982. League average goals — home 1.587 / away 1.253.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.95. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.95 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
