General match analysis
Shandong Luneng holds a clear statistical advantage in this matchup: at home they have a 100% win rate, average 2.5 goals scored and only 0.5 conceded per game, and register 50% clean sheets. In the last five matches the hosts are 4/5 (form 'wwwwl') with 12 goals scored, while Dalian have 1 win in 5, scored 7 and conceded 12. The visitors have 0 away wins and concede an average of 4.5 goals per away match, with 0% clean sheets and average xG against 1.96 versus the hosts' 1.13. Shandong generates higher home xG (1.71 vs 1.4), more shots (14.5 vs 11.5) and more shots on target (6 vs 5), which together with a 17% conversion rate gives them superior chance quality. Considering PPG over the last 5 matches (2.4 vs 0.8), the home goal margin of 2.5–0.5 and the visitors' defensive frailties, I forecast a home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The “BTTS - Yes” scenario appears more likely. The away team has 100% of matches with Goal/Goal this season, averages 5.0 shots on target, xG 1.4 and 2.0 goals scored per match, indicating clear scoring capability. In the last 5 fixtures both teams produced BTTS in 60% of games; over those five Shandong averaged 2.4 goals for and 1.4 against, while Dalian averaged 1.4 for and 2.4 against — both sides in their last 5 games are creating and conceding goals. The counterargument is the home team’s season figures: 100% clean sheets at home and 0% BTTS at home with a seasonal conceded goals average of 0.0, but these stats conflict with the total seasonal goals conceded by the home side (5.0) and their last 5 matches record (7 conceded), which weakens this definitive “No Goal” signal. Additionally, the league has 54% BTTS matches and an average of 3.04 goals per game, and Dalian concedes xG against of 1.96, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities and raising the likelihood of goals from both sides. Considering the away team’s 100% season BTTS, 5.0 shots on target and xG 1.4, plus both teams’ 60% BTTS in the last 5 matches, I assess BTTS probability at 70% versus 30% for No Goal.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Based on average xG: Shandong’s attacking xG is 0.99 while Dalian concede 1.96, yielding about 1.48 expected goals for the home side; Dalian’s attacking xG is 1.40 while Shandong concede 0.92, yielding about 1.16 for the away side, totalling 2.64 goals. In the last 5 matches Shandong scored 12 goals (2.4 avg) and all 5 of those games went Over 2.5 goals, while Dalian conceded 12 goals in their last 5 and 60% of those fixtures featured Over 2.5 goals. Away, Dalian seasonally concede an average of 4.5 goals and have 100% of away matches Over 2.5 goals; additionally they allow an average of 5.0 shots on target per match, increasing the likelihood of goals. The counterargument is that seasonally Shandong score 1.0 goals at home on average and have 100% of home matches without conceding, however recent home xG is 1.71 versus Dalian’s conceded xG of 1.70, indicating an elevated offensive tempo. As a result, with an expected 2.64 goals, Shandong’s strong run (2.4 in the last 5) and Dalian’s high away vulnerability, the strongest signal from the data is Over 1.5.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Shandong Luneng clearly dominates the data: they have a 100.0% win rate and an average of 3.0 points per match (winPercentage_home = 100.0, seasonPPG_home = 3.0), whereas Dalian Zhixing has a 0.0% win rate and 0.0 points (winPercentage_away = 0.0, seasonPPG_away = 0.0). In the last 5 fixtures the home side led at the break in 60% of matches (3 of 5, last5_leadingAtHTPercentage_overall_home = 60.0), and the away team were trailing at the break in 60% of their last 5 games (last5_trailingAtHTPercentage_overall_away = 60.0). xG metrics show the visitors create more attacking chances (xG for away = 1.4 vs xG for home = 0.99), but also defend significantly worse (xG against away = 1.96 vs xG against home = 0.92), which increases the likelihood the home side will capitalize on their advantages. The hosts have a 100.0% clean sheet rate this season (seasonCSPercentage_home = 100.0) and in their last 5 matches they averaged 1.2 goals by half-time (last5_scoredAVGHT_overall_home = 1.2), therefore the safest scenario is Shandong leading at half-time and winning at full-time (1/1, 45%). The next strongest signals are a half-time draw with a later home win (X/1 20%) and a home lead at the break with a turnaround to a draw by full-time (1/X 11%), while chances of an away win remain low (2/2 5%, 2/1 3%).
