Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shanghai Shenhua 2.26 xG and Shenyang Urban 0.81 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: Shanghai Shenhua attack 1.210 / defence 1.026 | Shenyang Urban attack 0.680 / defence 1.087. League average goals — home 1.716 / away 1.154. Shenyang Urban's attack rating of 0.680 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.81. Data: built from Shanghai Shenhua's last 35 games and Shenyang Urban's last 5.
Result probabilities: Shanghai Shenhua 70% | Draw 18% | Shenyang Urban 12%. Fair-value odds: Shanghai Shenhua 1.42 | Draw 5.58 | Shenyang Urban 8.45. The model has a clear lean to Shanghai Shenhua (70%) — a 52pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Shanghai Shenhua at 70% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.06 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
