Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Beijing Guoan 1.73 xG and SHANGHAI SIPG 1.17 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: Beijing Guoan attack 1.111 / defence 1.141 | SHANGHAI SIPG attack 0.851 / defence 0.931. League average goals — home 1.675 / away 1.208. Data: 40 Beijing Guoan games / 40 SHANGHAI SIPG games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Beijing Guoan 50% | Draw 25% | SHANGHAI SIPG 25%. Fair-value odds: Beijing Guoan 2.00 | Draw 4.00 | SHANGHAI SIPG 4.00. Beijing Guoan hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.91. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.91 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Beijing Guoan at 50% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form SHANGHAI SIPG (2.20 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Beijing Guoan if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.91 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 4.2 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Beijing Guoan 80% | SHANGHAI SIPG 90% BTTS from recent games.
