Analysis

Sichuan Jiuniu make the trip to Huizhou Olympic Stadium to face Hangzhou Greentown in Super League (matchday 4). The match kicks off on Tuesday 1 April 2025 at 13:35 UK time.

Form

Hangzhou Greentown (all games): 2W 4D 4L across their last 10 — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D L W D D. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. However, 2.30 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

At home, Hangzhou Greentown have gone 6W 2D 2L in their last 10 home games (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 3.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 90% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Hangzhou Greentown are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Sichuan Jiuniu have collected 0.80 PPG across their last 10 games: 2W 2D 6L. Last five: L L D D W. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Sichuan Jiuniu away from home: 1W 3D 6L from their last 10 away games — 0.60 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.00 PPG for Hangzhou Greentown against 0.80 for Sichuan Jiuniu. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

H2H History

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 2 H2H matches in our data, the wins are level at 1 apiece, with 0 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 2 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 25 Jun 2024, ended Hangzhou Greentown 2–3 Sichuan Jiuniu — a Sichuan Jiuniu win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Hangzhou Greentown goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 30 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 93% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 30%; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 27%; BTTS occurs in 80% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 87% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 60%.

Sichuan Jiuniu goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 30 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%; they fail to score in 37% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Hangzhou Greentown 67% and Sichuan Jiuniu 53% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Hangzhou Greentown 80% | Sichuan Jiuniu 57%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Hangzhou Greentown 1.59 xG and Sichuan Jiuniu 1.43 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: Hangzhou Greentown attack 0.986 / defence 1.040 | Sichuan Jiuniu attack 0.901 / defence 0.956. League average goals — home 1.682 / away 1.529. Data: built from Hangzhou Greentown's last 33 games and Sichuan Jiuniu's last 33. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Hangzhou Greentown 41% | Draw 26% | Sichuan Jiuniu 34%. Fair-value odds: Hangzhou Greentown 2.46 | Draw 3.91 | Sichuan Jiuniu 2.95. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.02. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.02 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (1.59 / 1.43) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Hangzhou Greentown are the pick at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Hangzhou Greentown if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.02 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Hangzhou Greentown's last 10 home games and Sichuan Jiuniu's last 10 away games) averaging 4.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Hangzhou Greentown 90% (last 10 home games) | Sichuan Jiuniu 50% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Hangzhou Greentown 33 games, Sichuan Jiuniu 33) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
