Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chengdu Better City 1.89 xG and Dalian Zhixing 1.09 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: Chengdu Better City attack 0.976 / defence 0.894 | Dalian Zhixing attack 0.782 / defence 1.190. League average goals — home 1.625 / away 1.558. Data: 34 Chengdu Better City games / 4 Dalian Zhixing games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chengdu Better City 54% | Draw 26% | Dalian Zhixing 20%. Fair-value odds: Chengdu Better City 1.85 | Draw 3.85 | Dalian Zhixing 5.00. Chengdu Better City hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 2.98. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.98 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 58% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Chengdu Better City are the pick at 54% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Chengdu Better City offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.98 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 57% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
