They are averaging 0.40 goals per game and conceding 4.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 4.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly.

Hebei Zhongji's home record over their last 10 home games: 1W 0D 9L (0.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.80 goals scored and 4.00 conceded per game.

Meizhou Kejia have collected 1.00 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 1D 6L. Last five: W W L L L. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

On the road, Meizhou Kejia have gone 3W 2D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

The travelling side arrive in better shape. Meizhou Kejia are 1.00 PPG clear of Hebei Zhongji over their recent games (1.00 vs 0.00). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Hebei Zhongji 1.13 xG and Meizhou Kejia 1.71 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: Hebei Zhongji attack 0.683 / defence 2.142 | Meizhou Kejia attack 0.560 / defence 1.132. League average goals — home 1.463 / away 1.428. Hebei Zhongji's attack rating of 0.683 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.13. Meizhou Kejia's attack rating of 0.560 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.71. Hebei Zhongji's defence rating of 2.142 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Meizhou Kejia's projected output up. Data: built from Hebei Zhongji's last 42 games and Meizhou Kejia's last 28.

Result probabilities: Hebei Zhongji 25% | Draw 25% | Meizhou Kejia 51%. Fair-value odds: Hebei Zhongji 4.04 | Draw 4.05 | Meizhou Kejia 1.98. Meizhou Kejia hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.84. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.84 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 56% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Meizhou Kejia are the pick at 51% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Meizhou Kejia if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.84 combined xG gives a 54% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Hebei Zhongji's last 10 home games and Meizhou Kejia's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 56%. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Hebei Zhongji 50% (last 10 home games) | Meizhou Kejia 20% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
