Head-to-Head

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wuhan Three Towns 1.98 xG and Tianjin Teda 1.47 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: Wuhan Three Towns attack 1.486 / defence 0.960 | Tianjin Teda attack 1.105 / defence 0.940. League average goals — home 1.419 / away 1.384. Wuhan Three Towns carry an above-average attack strength of 1.486 — their λ of 1.98 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 33 Wuhan Three Towns games / 46 Tianjin Teda games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Wuhan Three Towns 49% | Draw 24% | Tianjin Teda 28%. Fair-value odds: Wuhan Three Towns 2.04 | Draw 4.17 | Tianjin Teda 3.57. Wuhan Three Towns hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.45. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.45 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% reflects that both xG figures (1.98 / 1.47) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Wuhan Three Towns at 49% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Wuhan Three Towns 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 3.45 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 67% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Wuhan Three Towns 60% | Tianjin Teda 40%.
