Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Meizhou Kejia 0.97 xG and Wuhan Three Towns 1.72 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: Meizhou Kejia attack 1.037 / defence 1.039 | Wuhan Three Towns attack 1.256 / defence 0.674. League average goals — home 1.386 / away 1.317. Wuhan Three Towns's defence strength of 0.674 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Wuhan Three Towns have an above-average attack strength of 1.256 — the away xG of 1.72 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 13 Meizhou Kejia games / 13 Wuhan Three Towns games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Meizhou Kejia 21% | Draw 25% | Wuhan Three Towns 54%. Fair-value odds: Meizhou Kejia 4.76 | Draw 4.00 | Wuhan Three Towns 1.85. Wuhan Three Towns hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.69. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.69 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
