Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Meizhou Kejia 2.28 xG and Shenzhen Ruby FC 1.49 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 1.202 / defence 1.123 | Shenzhen Ruby FC attack 1.164 / defence 1.335. League average goals — home 1.421 / away 1.142. Shenzhen Ruby FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.335 — this is suppressing Meizhou Kejia's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 7 Meizhou Kejia games / 21 Shenzhen Ruby FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Meizhou Kejia 54% | Draw 23% | Shenzhen Ruby FC 23%. Fair-value odds: Meizhou Kejia 1.85 | Draw 4.35 | Shenzhen Ruby FC 4.35. Meizhou Kejia hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 71% | Total xG 3.77. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.77 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 71% reflects that both xG figures (2.28 / 1.49) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Meizhou Kejia as the most likely outcome at 54% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Meizhou Kejia if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.77 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 73% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 71% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Meizhou Kejia 100% | Shenzhen Ruby FC 90% BTTS from recent games.
