They are averaging 0.50 goals per game and conceding 1.12 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets in 8 games (38%) reflects a solid defensive base.

Their scoring rate of 1.25 per game is modest, conceding 0.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.50 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 8 games (62%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wuhan Zall 0.83 xG and Changchun Yatai 1.45 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: Wuhan Zall attack 0.708 / defence 1.147 | Changchun Yatai attack 1.081 / defence 1.171. League average goals — home 1.006 / away 1.165. Wuhan Zall's attack strength of 0.708 is below the league average — the 0.83 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 8 Wuhan Zall games / 8 Changchun Yatai games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Wuhan Zall 18% | Draw 34% | Changchun Yatai 48%. Fair-value odds: Wuhan Zall 5.56 | Draw 2.94 | Changchun Yatai 2.08. Changchun Yatai hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (34%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 47% | Total xG 2.28. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.28 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 47% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Changchun Yatai at 48% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 34% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Changchun Yatai if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.28 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 40% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 47% on No. Form rates are neutral: Wuhan Zall 33% | Changchun Yatai 75%.
