Head to Head

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Gimcheon Sangmu FC 2.53 xG and Daegu FC 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: Gimcheon Sangmu FC attack 1.238 / defence 0.918 | Daegu FC attack 0.857 / defence 1.407. League average goals — home 1.455 / away 1.237.

Result probabilities: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 71% | Draw 16% | Daegu FC 12%. Fair-value odds: Gimcheon Sangmu FC 1.41 | Draw 6.25 | Daegu FC 8.33. The model has a clear lean to Gimcheon Sangmu FC (71%) — a 59pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 3.51.

BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
