Full Analysis
Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu plays host to Kocaelispor versus Erzurumspor FK in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 31. Kick-off: Sunday 2 May 2027 at 12:00 UTC.
Current Form
Kocaelispor's overall Süper Lig record this term: 5W 0D 5L from 10 games (1.50 PPG). Last five: L W L L W. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Kocaelispor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu, Kocaelispor have gone 4W 2D 4L this season (10 games, 1.40 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Turka Arac Muayene Kocaeli Stadyumu. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Erzurumspor FK have collected 1.38 PPG across 8 Süper Lig outings this season: 3W 2D 3L. Last five: W L W D W. Their scoring rate of 0.62 per game is modest, conceding 1.38 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets from 8 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 12% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No. This season is still relatively young for Erzurumspor FK, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Erzurumspor FK away from home this season: 0W 2D 2L from 4 away games — 0.50 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.25 goals scored and 1.75 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 25% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.38 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.50 for Kocaelispor, 1.38 for Erzurumspor FK — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Both sides have a clean-sheet tendency (using home/away splits) — Kocaelispor have seen both teams score in just 30% of their matches, Erzurumspor FK in only 25%. BTTS No has clear statistical support from the form record of both squads.
Trading
Kocaelispor half-time and goal-timing data (8 games, 4 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (home games).
Erzurumspor FK half-time and goal-timing data (8 games, 4 at away): they score before half-time in 25% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time; they fail to score in 50% of games.
The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams show low combined scoring rates (Kocaelispor 50% | Erzurumspor FK 12%). The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Kocaelispor 50% | Erzurumspor FK 38%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Kocaelispor 1.45 xG and Erzurumspor FK 0.56 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: Kocaelispor attack 0.880 / defence 0.779 | Erzurumspor FK attack 0.610 / defence 1.045. League average goals — home 1.573 / away 1.172. Kocaelispor's defence rating of 0.779 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 42 Kocaelispor games / 8 Erzurumspor FK games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Kocaelispor 59% | Draw 27% | Erzurumspor FK 14%. Fair-value odds: Kocaelispor 1.69 | Draw 3.70 | Erzurumspor FK 7.14. The model has a clear lean to Kocaelispor (59%) — a 45pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 33% | Total xG 2.00. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 2.00 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 67% — Erzurumspor FK's lower xG of 0.56 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 33%.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Kocaelispor at 59% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.00 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 32% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 33% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Kocaelispor 30% | Erzurumspor FK 25% BTTS from recent games.
