Full Analysis
Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium plays host to Dalian Zhixing versus Yunnan Yukun in Super League, Regular Season - 8. Kick-off: Sunday 26 April 2026 at 11:35 UTC.
Form
Dalian Zhixing (all games): 1W 4D 5L across 10 Super League fixtures this term — 0.70 PPG. Last five: L D D D L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.
Dalian Zhixing's home record at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium: 5W 1D 4L from 10 Super League appearances (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.80 goals scored and 0.90 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 10% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 1.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.70 — Dalian Zhixing are significantly better at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium than their overall form suggests.
Yunnan Yukun's overall Super League record this term: 4W 4D 2L from 10 games (1.60 PPG). Last five: D W W W D. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.50. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play.
Yunnan Yukun's form when playing away from home: 2W 3D 5L across 10 road games this term (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
On a straight form reading, Yunnan Yukun are the stronger side — 0.90 PPG clear of the hosts (1.60 vs 0.70). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.
Head-to-Head
Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 2 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for Dalian Zhixing, 0 for Yunnan Yukun and 1 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.
These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.5 per game across 2 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 19 Sep 2025, ended 1–1 with a draw.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.5 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
Trading
Dalian Zhixing half-time and goal-timing data (30 games, 15 at home): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; 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 37% of games.
Yunnan Yukun half-time and goal-timing data (30 games, 15 at away): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; BTTS occurs in 80% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 43%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Dalian Zhixing 40% versus Yunnan Yukun 73%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Dalian Zhixing 33% | Yunnan Yukun 53%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Dalian Zhixing 1.94 xG and Yunnan Yukun 1.13 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 1.059 / defence 0.797 | Yunnan Yukun attack 1.284 / defence 1.098. League average goals — home 1.666 / away 1.102. Yunnan Yukun have an above-average attack strength of 1.284 — the away xG of 1.13 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Dalian Zhixing's defence rating of 0.797 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 37 Dalian Zhixing games / 37 Yunnan Yukun games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Dalian Zhixing 56% | Draw 22% | Yunnan Yukun 22%. Fair-value odds: Dalian Zhixing 1.79 | Draw 4.55 | Yunnan Yukun 4.55. The model has a clear lean to Dalian Zhixing (56%) — a 34pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 58% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 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.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Dalian Zhixing at 56% — clear model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Yunnan Yukun (1.60 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.07 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates are neutral: Dalian Zhixing 10% | Yunnan Yukun 80%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Yunnan Yukun beat Dalian Zhixing 1-3 at Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium, Regular Season - 8, in the Super League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Dalian Zhixing 1.94 xG and Yunnan Yukun 1.13 xG, a combined 3.07. The scoreboard read 1-3 for 4 actual goals. Dalian Zhixing fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Yunnan Yukun outscored their 1.13 projection by 1.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dalian Zhixing attack 1.06 / defence 0.80 against Yunnan Yukun attack 1.28 / defence 1.10, drawn from 37/37 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Dalian Zhixing 56% | Draw 22% | Yunnan Yukun 22%, with Dalian Zhixing to win its most likely call at 56%. Instead the game produced a Yunnan Yukun win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 81% and landed. Over 3.5 was 37% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Dalian Zhixing 33%, Yunnan Yukun 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Dalian Zhixing's trading profile (30 games, 15 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did.
Yunnan Yukun's trading profile (30 games, 15 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 73% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Dalian Zhixing 1.20 PPG, Yunnan Yukun 1.40 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Yunnan Yukun win broke the near-deadlock. Dalian Zhixing (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 0.93 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Yunnan Yukun (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.40 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
