With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 2.8 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Chengdu Better City half-time and goal-timing data (60 games, 30 at away): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Changchun Yatai 60% versus Chengdu Better City 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Changchun Yatai 58% | Chengdu Better City 60%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Changchun Yatai 0.76 xG and Chengdu Better City 1.57 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: Changchun Yatai attack 0.722 / defence 0.858 | Chengdu Better City attack 1.247 / defence 0.599. League average goals — home 1.758 / away 1.470. Changchun Yatai's attack strength of 0.722 is below the league average — the 0.76 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Chengdu Better City's defence strength of 0.599 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Chengdu Better City have an above-average attack strength of 1.247 — the away xG of 1.57 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 38 Changchun Yatai games / 38 Chengdu Better City games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Changchun Yatai 16% | Draw 29% | Chengdu Better City 55%. Fair-value odds: Changchun Yatai 6.25 | Draw 3.45 | Chengdu Better City 1.82. The model has a clear lean to Chengdu Better City (55%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.33. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.33 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.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Chengdu Better City at 55% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 29% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.33 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 41% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 3.2 goals per game and H2H averaging only 2.8 goals per meeting point in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 44% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Changchun Yatai 50% | Chengdu Better City 50%.
