Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chongqing Lifan 1.25 xG and Shenzhen Ruby FC 1.60 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: Chongqing Lifan attack 1.116 / defence 1.326 | Shenzhen Ruby FC attack 1.032 / defence 1.256. League average goals — home 0.893 / away 1.168. Shenzhen Ruby FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.256 — this is suppressing Chongqing Lifan's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 6 Chongqing Lifan games / 6 Shenzhen Ruby FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chongqing Lifan 26% | Draw 32% | Shenzhen Ruby FC 42%. Fair-value odds: Chongqing Lifan 3.85 | Draw 3.12 | Shenzhen Ruby FC 2.38. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 2.85. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.85 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (1.25 / 1.60) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Shenzhen Ruby FC as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 32% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Shenzhen Ruby FC if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.85 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 54% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Chongqing Lifan 67% | Shenzhen Ruby FC 67% BTTS from recent games.
