Full Analysis
plays host to Erzurumspor FK versus Kocaelispor in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 14. Kick-off: Sunday 6 December 2026 at 10:30 UTC.
Current Form
Erzurumspor FK's overall Süper Lig record this term: 4W 2D 4L from 10 games (1.40 PPG). Last five: W D W W L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Erzurumspor FK, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Erzurumspor FK's form when playing at home: 3W 0D 2L across 5 games at this term (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. 3 clean sheets from 5 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at . At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Kocaelispor have collected 1.60 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 5W 1D 4L. Last five: W L L W D. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 0.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. This season is still relatively young for Kocaelispor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Süper Lig this season, Kocaelispor have posted 2W 2D 6L from 10 away outings — 0.80 PPG. Away from home they average 0.70 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.80 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.40 for Erzurumspor FK, 1.60 for Kocaelispor — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Trading & In-Play
Erzurumspor FK — key trading statistics (10 games, 5 at home): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 20% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 40% of games.
Kocaelispor — key trading statistics (10 games, 5 at away): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 30% of games.
The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams show low combined scoring rates (Erzurumspor FK 30% | Kocaelispor 40%). The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Erzurumspor FK 50% | Kocaelispor 40%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Erzurumspor FK 0.97 xG and Kocaelispor 1.31 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: Erzurumspor FK attack 0.690 / defence 1.119 | Kocaelispor attack 0.934 / defence 0.888. League average goals — home 1.587 / away 1.253. Erzurumspor FK's attack strength of 0.690 is below the league average — the 0.97 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 10 Erzurumspor FK games / 44 Kocaelispor games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Erzurumspor FK 28% | Draw 28% | Kocaelispor 44%. Fair-value odds: Erzurumspor FK 3.57 | Draw 3.57 | Kocaelispor 2.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.28. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.28 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Kocaelispor are the pick at 44% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Kocaelispor if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.28 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 40% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 45% on No. Form rates corroborate: Erzurumspor FK 20% | Kocaelispor 50% BTTS from recent games.
