Match Analysis
Shandong Luneng host Tianjin Teda at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Super League, Regular Season - 23. Kick-off is scheduled for Friday 18 August 2023 at 12:35 UTC.
Form Guide
Shandong Luneng — All Games: 6W 2D 2L from 10 Super League outings this season, averaging 2.00 points per game. Last five: L W W L W. They are averaging 2.40 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Shandong Luneng, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Shandong Luneng's form when playing at home: 8W 1D 1L across 10 games at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium this term (2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.80 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium. Their home PPG of 2.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 2.00 — Shandong Luneng are significantly better at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium than their overall form suggests.
Across all Super League games this season, Tianjin Teda have recorded 2W 5D 3L from 10 outings — 1.10 PPG. Last five: D D L D L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Tianjin Teda, so this record blends games from this season and last.
On the road, Tianjin Teda have gone 2W 5D 3L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
Shandong Luneng are in the better shape of the two on current Super League data — 0.90 PPG ahead (2.00 vs 1.10). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
H2H Record
The H2H landscape is flat: 3 previous encounters have yielded 2 wins for Shandong Luneng, 0 for Tianjin Teda and 1 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 3 meetings have averaged 4.0 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 20 May 2023, ended 3–3 with a draw.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 4.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
Trading Patterns
Shandong Luneng in-play and half-time data (55 games, 27 at home): they score before half-time in 76% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 37% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time.
Tianjin Teda in-play and half-time data (55 games, 27 at away): they score before half-time in 77% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 68% of the time; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 37% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Shandong Luneng 49% versus Tianjin Teda 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Shandong Luneng 62% | Tianjin Teda 42%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shandong Luneng 1.90 xG and Tianjin Teda 0.65 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 1.553 / defence 0.611 | Tianjin Teda attack 0.871 / defence 0.791. League average goals — home 1.551 / away 1.227. Shandong Luneng carry an above-average attack strength of 1.553 — their λ of 1.90 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Tianjin Teda's defence strength of 0.791 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Shandong Luneng's defence rating of 0.611 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 56 Shandong Luneng games / 55 Tianjin Teda games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Shandong Luneng 66% | Draw 23% | Tianjin Teda 11%. Fair-value odds: Shandong Luneng 1.52 | Draw 4.35 | Tianjin Teda 9.09. The model has a clear lean to Shandong Luneng (66%) — a 55pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.56. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.56 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Shandong Luneng are the pick at 66% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.56 combined xG gives a 47% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 4.0 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
Poisson assigns a 42% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Shandong Luneng 40% | Tianjin Teda 70%.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Shandong Luneng beat Tianjin Teda 1-0 at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium, Regular Season - 23, in the Super League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Shandong Luneng 1.90 xG and Tianjin Teda 0.65 xG, a combined 2.56. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Shandong Luneng fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Shandong Luneng attack 1.55 / defence 0.61 against Tianjin Teda attack 0.87 / defence 0.79, drawn from 56/55 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Shandong Luneng 66% | Draw 23% | Tianjin Teda 11%, with Shandong Luneng to win its most likely call at 66%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 73% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Shandong Luneng 62%, Tianjin Teda 42%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Shandong Luneng's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and duly kept one.
Tianjin Teda's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Shandong Luneng arrived the stronger side — 2.05 PPG against 1.45. Form held, and they took the win. Shandong Luneng (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.96 scoring average — below par going forward. Tianjin Teda (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.22 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
