Form Guide
Shenyang Urban — All Games: 4W 1D 5L from 10 Super League outings this season, averaging 1.30 points per game. Last five: W W W L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.90 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Shenyang Urban, so this record blends games from this season and last.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Shenyang Urban register both teams scoring in 67% of relevant matches, Qingdao Youth Island in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shenyang Urban 1.83 xG and Qingdao Youth Island 1.56 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: Shenyang Urban attack 0.953 / defence 1.267 | Qingdao Youth Island attack 0.902 / defence 1.113. League average goals — home 1.721 / away 1.361. Data: 17 Shenyang Urban games / 48 Qingdao Youth Island games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Shenyang Urban 44% | Draw 23% | Qingdao Youth Island 33%. Fair-value odds: Shenyang Urban 2.27 | Draw 4.35 | Qingdao Youth Island 3.03. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 23% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.38. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.38 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 Yes at 66% reflects that both xG figures (1.83 / 1.56) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Shenyang Urban at 44% — marginal model lean. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Shenyang Urban offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.38 combined xG gives a 66% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 66% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Shenyang Urban 67% | Qingdao Youth Island 60% BTTS from recent games.
