Full Analysis

Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium plays host to Dalian Zhixing versus Qingdao Youth Island in Super League, Regular Season - 23. Kick-off: Saturday 4 October 2025 at 12:35 UTC.

Form

Dalian Zhixing (all games): 5W 1D 4L across 10 Super League fixtures this term — 1.60 PPG. Last five: L L W D L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Dalian Zhixing, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Dalian Zhixing's form when playing at home: 7W 0D 3L across 10 games at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium this term (2.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.10 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.60 — Dalian Zhixing are significantly better at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium than their overall form suggests.

Qingdao Youth Island's overall Super League record this term: 4W 3D 3L from 10 games (1.50 PPG). Last five: L L L W W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — 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 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Qingdao Youth Island, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Qingdao Youth Island have gone 2W 4D 4L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.00 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.60 for Dalian Zhixing, 1.50 for Qingdao Youth Island — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 1 head-to-head meetings have produced 0 wins for Dalian Zhixing, 1 for Qingdao Youth Island and 0 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

The 1 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 20 Apr 2025, ended 0–2 with Qingdao Youth Island winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading & In-Play

Dalian Zhixing — key trading statistics (25 games, 12 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (home games); they fail to score in 32% of games.

Qingdao Youth Island — key trading statistics (25 games, 12 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 57% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 40%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dalian Zhixing 40% versus Qingdao Youth Island 60%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dalian Zhixing 32% | Qingdao Youth Island 56%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dalian Zhixing 1.16 xG and Qingdao Youth Island 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: Dalian Zhixing attack 0.745 / defence 0.890 | Qingdao Youth Island attack 0.964 / defence 0.829. League average goals — home 1.871 / away 1.367. Dalian Zhixing's attack strength of 0.745 is below the league average — the 1.16 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 25 Dalian Zhixing games / 55 Qingdao Youth Island games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Dalian Zhixing 35% | Draw 30% | Qingdao Youth Island 36%. Fair-value odds: Dalian Zhixing 2.86 | Draw 3.33 | Qingdao Youth Island 2.78. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 48% | 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 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Qingdao Youth Island as the most likely outcome at 36% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Qingdao Youth Island if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.33 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 41% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. Form rates corroborate: Dalian Zhixing 20% | Qingdao Youth Island 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
