Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shandong Luneng 0.81 xG and Qingdao Huanghai 0.82 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: Shandong Luneng attack 0.979 / defence 1.004 | Qingdao Huanghai attack 0.705 / defence 1.029. League average goals — home 0.799 / away 1.156. Data: 3 Shandong Luneng games / 3 Qingdao Huanghai games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: Shandong Luneng 28% | Draw 43% | Qingdao Huanghai 29%. Fair-value odds: Shandong Luneng 3.57 | Draw 2.33 | Qingdao Huanghai 3.45. The draw (43%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 22% | BTTS probability 35% | Total xG 1.62. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 78% probability — total xG of 1.62 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 65% — Shandong Luneng's lower xG of 0.81 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 35%.
Our Verdict
The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 43% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 28% and away win at 29% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.
On the goals line, Poisson's 1.62 combined xG gives a 22% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (3 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

🧮 Model Insight
Model Mechanics
Working from Shandong Luneng's attack rating (0.98) and Qingdao Huanghai's defence rating (1.03), the model arrives at 0.81 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, Qingdao Huanghai's attack versus Shandong Luneng's defence, projects 0.82 expected goals for the visitors.
The sample (3/3 games) mixes this season and last, since the current campaign is still relatively young.
The Exact-Score Picture
Run the expected-goals figures through the full scoreline distribution and 0-0 emerges as the single most likely result, at 21.4%. Close behind: 1-1 (14.7%), 0-1 (14.4%).

Shandong Luneng beat Qingdao Huanghai 2-0 at Tianhe Stadium, Regular Season - 4, in the Super League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Shandong Luneng 0.81 xG and Qingdao Huanghai 0.82 xG, a combined 1.62. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Shandong Luneng beat their projection by 1.2 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Qingdao Huanghai landed 0.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Shandong Luneng attack 0.98 / defence 1.00 against Qingdao Huanghai attack 0.70 / defence 1.03, drawn from 3/3 games (Blended).
On the result, the model split it Shandong Luneng 28% | Draw 43% | Qingdao Huanghai 29%, with the draw its most likely call at 43%. The actual Shandong Luneng win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 22%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 52% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 35% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
