Recent Form

Across all Super League games this season, Chengdu Better City have gone 6W 2D 2L from 10 outings — a 2.00 PPG return. Last five: D L W W W. They are averaging 2.30 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Chengdu Better City, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Chengdu Better City's form when playing at home: 7W 2D 1L across 10 games at Chengdu Phoenix Hill Sports Park this term (2.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 0.60 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Chengdu Phoenix Hill Sports Park.

Qingdao Jonoon — All Games: 3W 1D 6L from 10 Super League fixtures this season — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L L W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for Qingdao Jonoon, so this record blends games from this season and last.

When travelling in Super League this season, Qingdao Jonoon have posted 0W 1D 9L from 10 away outings — 0.10 PPG. Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.10 is notably below their overall 1.00 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Chengdu Better City carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.00 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.00 vs 1.00. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chengdu Better City 2.29 xG and Qingdao Jonoon 0.51 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 1.088 / defence 0.652 | Qingdao Jonoon attack 0.576 / defence 1.195. League average goals — home 1.764 / away 1.358. Chengdu Better City's defence rating of 0.652 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 50 Chengdu Better City games / 50 Qingdao Jonoon games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chengdu Better City 77% | Draw 17% | Qingdao Jonoon 6%. Fair-value odds: Chengdu Better City 1.30 | Draw 5.88 | Qingdao Jonoon 16.67. The model has a clear lean to Chengdu Better City (77%) — a 71pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 2.80. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.80 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
