H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated the 2 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Qingdao Youth Island, 1 for Wuhan Three Towns and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 2 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 2 Nov 2024, ended Qingdao Youth Island 3–1 Wuhan Three Towns — a Qingdao Youth Island win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading

Qingdao Youth Island half-time and goal-timing data (last 30 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 44%; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 29%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

Wuhan Three Towns half-time and goal-timing data (last 30 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (away games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Qingdao Youth Island 63% and Wuhan Three Towns 57% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Qingdao Youth Island 60% | Wuhan Three Towns 43%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Qingdao Youth Island 1.48 xG and Wuhan Three Towns 1.03 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: Qingdao Youth Island attack 1.026 / defence 1.058 | Wuhan Three Towns attack 0.789 / defence 0.876. League average goals — home 1.644 / away 1.234. Wuhan Three Towns's attack rating of 0.789 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.03. Data: built from Qingdao Youth Island's last 31 games and Wuhan Three Towns's last 31. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Qingdao Youth Island 47% | Draw 28% | Wuhan Three Towns 26%. Fair-value odds: Qingdao Youth Island 2.15 | Draw 3.59 | Wuhan Three Towns 3.92. Qingdao Youth Island hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 50% | Total xG 2.51. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.51 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 50% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Qingdao Youth Island at 47% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Qingdao Youth Island if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.51 combined xG gives a 54% probability to Under 2.5 — low conviction — though recent form (Qingdao Youth Island's last 10 home games and Wuhan Three Towns's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 50%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Qingdao Youth Island 80% (last 10 home games) | Wuhan Three Towns 50% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Qingdao Youth Island 31 games, Wuhan Three Towns 31) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
