Match Analysis

Dalian Zhixing host Sichuan Jiuniu at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium in Super League, Regular Season - 24. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 14 September 2025 at 12:00 UTC.

Form Guide

Dalian Zhixing — All Games: 5W 0D 5L from 10 Super League outings this season, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: W W L L L. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for Dalian Zhixing, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Dalian Zhixing at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium this season: 6W 1D 3L from 10 home games — 1.90 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.10 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.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Sichuan Jiuniu stand at 2W 0D 8L from 10 Super League matches — 0.60 PPG. Last five: L L L L W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 2.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.40 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Sichuan Jiuniu, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Sichuan Jiuniu's form when playing away from home: 1W 1D 8L across 10 road games this term (0.40 PPG). Away from home they average 0.40 goals scored and 2.60 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

On current form, Dalian Zhixing have the edge — a 0.90 PPG advantage (1.50 vs 0.60) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

On the goals front, neither side scores or concedes freely enough to make BTTS Yes the call. Dalian Zhixing's 20% rate and Sichuan Jiuniu's 30% (using home/away splits) both sit well below average — BTTS No is the form-backed angle.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 1 previous meetings, Dalian Zhixing have won 0, Sichuan Jiuniu 0, with 1 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

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 26 Apr 2025, ended 1–1 with a draw.

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.

In-Play Profile

Dalian Zhixing in-play tendencies (22 games, 10 at home): they score before half-time in 70% 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 20% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 20% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

Sichuan Jiuniu in-play tendencies (22 games, 10 at away): they score before half-time in 60% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 30% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 54%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dalian Zhixing 32% versus Sichuan Jiuniu 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dalian Zhixing 27% | Sichuan Jiuniu 73%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Dalian Zhixing 1.75 xG and Sichuan Jiuniu 0.74 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 0.738 / defence 0.865 | Sichuan Jiuniu attack 0.662 / defence 1.316. League average goals — home 1.800 / away 1.292. Dalian Zhixing's attack strength of 0.738 is below the league average — the 1.75 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Sichuan Jiuniu bring a strong defensive rating of 1.316 — this is suppressing Dalian Zhixing's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 22 Dalian Zhixing games / 53 Sichuan Jiuniu games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Dalian Zhixing 60% | Draw 26% | Sichuan Jiuniu 14%. Fair-value odds: Dalian Zhixing 1.67 | Draw 3.85 | Sichuan Jiuniu 7.14. The model has a clear lean to Dalian Zhixing (60%) — a 46pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 45% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.49. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 55% — total xG of 2.49 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.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Dalian Zhixing are the pick at 60% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 2.49 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 45% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 44%. Form rates corroborate: Dalian Zhixing 20% | Sichuan Jiuniu 30% BTTS from recent games.
