Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Jeju United FC 1.45 xG and Pohang Steelers 1.76 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: Jeju United FC attack 0.984 / defence 1.125 | Pohang Steelers attack 1.366 / defence 1.006. League average goals — home 1.469 / away 1.144. Pohang Steelers have an above-average attack strength of 1.366 — the away xG of 1.76 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 55 Jeju United FC games / 55 Pohang Steelers games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Jeju United FC 32% | Draw 23% | Pohang Steelers 45%. Fair-value odds: Jeju United FC 3.12 | Draw 4.35 | Pohang Steelers 2.22. Pohang Steelers hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 63% | Total xG 3.21. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.21 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% reflects that both xG figures (1.45 / 1.76) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Pohang Steelers at 45% — moderate model lean. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Pohang Steelers offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 3.21 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 62% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 63% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Jeju United FC 40% | Pohang Steelers 70% BTTS from recent games.
The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Jeju United FC beat Pohang Steelers 2-1 at Jeju World Cup Stadium, Regular Season - 23, in the K League 1. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result

Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Jeju United FC attack 0.98 / defence 1.12 against Pohang Steelers attack 1.37 / defence 1.01, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Jeju United FC 32% | Draw 23% | Pohang Steelers 45%, with Pohang Steelers to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Jeju United FC win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
