Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Chengdu Better City 1.89 xG and Dalian Zhixing 1.09 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: Chengdu Better City attack 0.976 / defence 0.894 | Dalian Zhixing attack 0.782 / defence 1.190. League average goals — home 1.625 / away 1.558. Dalian Zhixing's attack rating of 0.782 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.09. Data: built from Chengdu Better City's last 34 games and Dalian Zhixing's last 4.
Result probabilities: Chengdu Better City 54% | Draw 26% | Dalian Zhixing 20%. Fair-value odds: Chengdu Better City 1.84 | Draw 3.86 | Dalian Zhixing 5.04. Chengdu Better City hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.98. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.98 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
