Dalian Zhixing vs Shandong Luneng Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.82 expected goals for Dalian Zhixing and 1.67 for Shandong Luneng, a combined total of 3.49. That distribution gives Dalian Zhixing the largest share of the 1X2 market at 42%, with the draw at 22%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 68% for over 2.5 goals and 68% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 9%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 42% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 64.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 68% and over 2.5 goals at 68%.

A 64% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
