Current Form

Wuhan Zall's overall Super League record this term: 3W 1D 6L from 10 games (1.00 PPG). Last five: W L L L L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Wuhan Zall have played only a handful of Super League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Both teams have scored in 100% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Guangzhou Evergrande FC (all games): 3W 0D 7L across 10 Super League outings this term — 0.90 points per game. Last five: L L W L L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No. Guangzhou Evergrande FC have played only a handful of Super League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 1 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for Wuhan Zall, 0 for Guangzhou Evergrande FC and 0 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Wuhan Zall 1.79 xG and Guangzhou Evergrande FC 1.19 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 0.972 / defence 1.259 | Guangzhou Evergrande FC attack 0.822 / defence 1.308. League average goals — home 1.408 / away 1.148. Guangzhou Evergrande FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.308 — this is suppressing Wuhan Zall's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 21 Wuhan Zall games / 21 Guangzhou Evergrande FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.98. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.98 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
