Match Preview

The model favours Henan Jianye to win against Qingdao Youth Island, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Henan Jianye currently sits in 13th place in the league, having played 18 matches this season with a record of 7 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses. They have scored 23 goals and conceded 23, resulting in a neutral goal difference. Recent form shows they have won 2 of their last 5 matches, which indicates a slight upward trend as they seek to improve their standing. In contrast, Qingdao Youth Island is positioned 4th, with 20 matches played and a record of 6 wins, 10 draws, and 4 losses. They have netted 24 goals while allowing 29, leading to a goal difference of -5. Their last 5 matches reflect a mixed performance, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. While they have been competitive this season, their inability to convert draws into wins could be a concern as they face a struggling Henan. The model gives Henan Jianye a win probability of around 55%, with the projected score of 2-1. One caveat to consider is that if Qingdao can tighten their defence and convert set pieces effectively, they could pose a significant challenge. The full method used for this prediction is detailed in the "How We Reached This Prediction" section, developed by The Daily Punt Analysis Team, which utilises expected goals and actual results throughout 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.
