Daejeon Citizen (all games): 3W 0D 1L across 4 K League 1 fixtures this term — 2.25 PPG. Last five: W L W W. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 4 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.

Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Daejeon Citizen 1.54 xG and Suwon City FC 1.14 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: Daejeon Citizen attack 1.015 / defence 1.108 | Suwon City FC attack 0.848 / defence 1.215. League average goals — home 1.248 / away 1.215. Suwon City FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.215 — this is suppressing Daejeon Citizen's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest.

Result probabilities: Daejeon Citizen 46% | Draw 25% | Suwon City FC 28%. Fair-value odds: Daejeon Citizen 2.17 | Draw 4.00 | Suwon City FC 3.57. Daejeon Citizen hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.68. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.68 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
