Beşiktaş vs Erzurumspor FK: Over 2.5 goals
Beşiktaş head into the Süper Lig clash with a 3.5 xG advantage, while Erzurumspor manage just 0.5 xG on the road. The model sees a dominant home side and a high probability of plenty of goals.
Both teams have been on opposite trajectories in their last five league outings – Beşiktaş with a win‑loss‑win pattern and Erzurumspor with two losses, a draw and a win. The contrast in recent results sets up a clear disparity in confidence heading into the fixture.
Lars's Verdict
The model assigns a 75.2 % chance of more than 2.5 goals, driven by Beşiktaş’s 3.5 xG home edge and Erzurumspor’s weak away defence.
Show the maths
With Beşiktaş averaging 3.5 expected goals and Erzurumspor FK averaging 0.5, the model gives a 62.2% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 37.8% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 4.0 (Beşiktaş 3.5 + Erzurumspor FK 0.5) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 75.2% chance against 24.8% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Beşiktaş at 89.8%, the draw at 6.7%, and Erzurumspor FK at 2.4% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 3-0 at 13.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
