Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Yunnan Yukun 1.36 xG and Shanghai Shenhua 1.78 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: Yunnan Yukun attack 1.004 / defence 1.065 | Shanghai Shenhua attack 1.283 / defence 0.780. League average goals — home 1.733 / away 1.301. Shanghai Shenhua's defence strength of 0.780 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Shanghai Shenhua have an above-average attack strength of 1.283 — the away xG of 1.78 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 18 Yunnan Yukun games / 48 Shanghai Shenhua games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Yunnan Yukun 29% | Draw 23% | Shanghai Shenhua 47%. Fair-value odds: Yunnan Yukun 3.45 | Draw 4.35 | Shanghai Shenhua 2.13. Shanghai Shenhua hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.36 / 1.78) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Shanghai Shenhua at 47% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Shanghai Shenhua if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.13 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Yunnan Yukun 62% | Shanghai Shenhua 70% BTTS from recent games.
