Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Qingdao Youth Island 2.46 xG and Sichuan Jiuniu 1.01 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: Qingdao Youth Island attack 1.107 / defence 1.149 | Sichuan Jiuniu attack 0.611 / defence 1.295. League average goals — home 1.718 / away 1.438. Sichuan Jiuniu bring a strong defensive rating of 1.295 — this is suppressing Qingdao Youth Island's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 39 Qingdao Youth Island games / 40 Sichuan Jiuniu games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Qingdao Youth Island 69% | Draw 18% | Sichuan Jiuniu 13%. Fair-value odds: Qingdao Youth Island 1.45 | Draw 5.56 | Sichuan Jiuniu 7.69. The model has a clear lean to Qingdao Youth Island (69%) — a 56pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.47. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.47 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Qingdao Youth Island are the pick at 69% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.47 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates corroborate: Qingdao Youth Island 80% | Sichuan Jiuniu 50% BTTS from recent games.
