Full Analysis
plays host to Erzurumspor FK versus Kocaelispor in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 14. Kick-off: Sunday 6 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC.
Current Form
Erzurumspor FK's overall Süper Lig record this term: 1W 1D 2L from 4 games (1.00 PPG). Last five: L L D W. They are averaging 0.50 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 4 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in only 25% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence. Erzurumspor FK have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Kocaelispor have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: L L W W W. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 0.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Kocaelispor have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
When travelling in Süper Lig this season, Kocaelispor have posted 3W 2D 5L from 10 away outings — 1.10 PPG. Away from home they average 0.70 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.00 for Erzurumspor FK, 1.20 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 (4 games): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games; they fail to score in 50% of games.
Kocaelispor — key trading statistics (4 games): they score before half-time in 100% of fixtures; they lead at the break 50% of the time; when trailing at the break they recover to draw or win in 25% of cases; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time.
The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams show low combined scoring rates (Erzurumspor FK 25% | Kocaelispor 25%). Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Erzurumspor FK 50% | Kocaelispor 25%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Erzurumspor FK 0.95 xG and Kocaelispor 1.28 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 0.666 / defence 1.201 | Kocaelispor attack 0.872 / defence 0.988. League average goals — home 1.450 / away 1.220. Erzurumspor FK's attack strength of 0.666 is below the league average — the 0.95 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 4 Erzurumspor FK games / 37 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 39% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.23. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.23 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 44% 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 2.23 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 39% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 44% on No. Form rates corroborate: Erzurumspor FK 25% | Kocaelispor 40% BTTS from recent games.
