BEST ODDS
Our pick: Bookmakers offer average 1.44 (implied 69.4%) for Over 2.5 Goals. Our experts calculate a 71.9% probability (an expert ratio of 1.39). We chose this bet because our experts rate it more likely than the bookmaker price implies (71.9% vs 69.4%), driven by both sides' high goal output and tendency toward open games. That edge makes it our most confident selection for this match.

Match Preview

The model favours Dalian Zhixing to win against Shenyang Urban, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Dalian currently sits in a strong third place in the league, having accumulated 28 points from 18 matches with a record of nine wins, one draw, and eight losses. Despite a negative goal difference of -4, their recent form shows promise, with two wins, two draws, and just one loss in their last five matches. This indicates a competitive edge as they aim to solidify their position in the top tier. On the other hand, Shenyang Urban occupies ninth place in the standings, with 21 points from 19 matches, which includes six wins, three draws, and ten losses. Their goal difference of -6 reflects struggles defensively, and their recent form has been disappointing with only one win in their last five matches, alongside three losses. This lack of consistency may hinder their ability to challenge Dalian in this matchup. The model output suggests a win probability of approximately 58% for Dalian Zhixing, with the scoreline forecasted at 2-1. However, a potential caveat is Dalian's defensive vulnerabilities, given they have conceded 32 goals this season, which could allow Shenyang to capitalize on any mistakes. For a detailed explanation of our prediction method, please refer to the "How We Reached This Prediction" section. This analysis is brought to you by The Daily Punt Analysis Team, utilizing an in-house model that evaluates fixtures through expected goals and actual results across the season.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
