H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated the 2 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Qingdao Jonoon, 1 for Qingdao Youth Island 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 7 Jul 2024, ended Qingdao Jonoon 3–1 Qingdao Youth Island — a Qingdao Jonoon 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 Jonoon half-time and goal-timing data (last 30 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 37%; they fail to score in 50% of games.

Qingdao Youth Island half-time and goal-timing data (last 30 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 93% of their matches in away 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 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Qingdao Jonoon 37% versus Qingdao Youth Island 63%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Qingdao Jonoon 40% | Qingdao Youth Island 60%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Qingdao Jonoon 1.65 xG and Qingdao Youth Island 1.26 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 Jonoon attack 0.933 / defence 0.999 | Qingdao Youth Island attack 1.017 / defence 1.024. League average goals — home 1.725 / away 1.236. Data: built from Qingdao Jonoon's last 30 games and Qingdao Youth Island's last 30. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Qingdao Jonoon 47% | Draw 24% | Qingdao Youth Island 29%. Fair-value odds: Qingdao Jonoon 2.15 | Draw 4.13 | Qingdao Youth Island 3.42. Qingdao Jonoon hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.90. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.90 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.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Qingdao Jonoon are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Qingdao Youth Island (1.50 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Qingdao Jonoon if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.90 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Qingdao Jonoon's last 10 home games and Qingdao Youth Island's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Qingdao Jonoon 60% (last 10 home games) | Qingdao Youth Island 50% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Qingdao Jonoon 30 games, Qingdao Youth Island 30) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
