Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 4 previous meetings, Al-Hilal Saudi FC have won 1, Al-Qadisiyah FC 1, with 2 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 4 meetings have averaged 3.2 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 29 Jan 2026, ended 2–2 with a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.2 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Al-Hilal Saudi FC in-play and half-time data (43 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 91% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; they lead at the break 65% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 44%; they keep a clean sheet 49% of the time.

Al-Qadisiyah FC in-play and half-time data (43 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 54%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Hilal Saudi FC 49% versus Al-Qadisiyah FC 63%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Hilal Saudi FC 60% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 67%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.13 xG and Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.79 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: Al-Hilal Saudi FC attack 1.303 / defence 0.853 | Al-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.465 / defence 0.622. League average goals — home 1.396 / away 1.432. Al-Hilal Saudi FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.303 — their λ of 1.13 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Qadisiyah FC's defence strength of 0.622 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Al-Qadisiyah FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.465 — the away xG of 1.79 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 43 Al-Hilal Saudi FC games / 44 Al-Qadisiyah FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 22% | Draw 28% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 50%. Fair-value odds: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 4.55 | Draw 3.57 | Al-Qadisiyah FC 2.00. Al-Qadisiyah FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Qadisiyah FC are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Qadisiyah FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.92 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. This conflicts with form data: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 30% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 50% from recent games — a notable divergence.
