Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Kasımpaşa 1.30 xG and Kocaelispor 0.97 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: Kasımpaşa attack 0.899 / defence 0.899 | Kocaelispor attack 0.888 / defence 0.992. League average goals — home 1.461 / away 1.218. Data: 37 Kasımpaşa games / 37 Kocaelispor games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Kasımpaşa 44% | Draw 28% | Kocaelispor 28%. Fair-value odds: Kasımpaşa 2.27 | Draw 3.57 | Kocaelispor 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Kasımpaşa at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Kasımpaşa offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 45% on No. Form rates corroborate: Kasımpaşa 30% | Kocaelispor 40% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (37 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
