Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.23 xG and Al-Hilal Saudi FC 2.56 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-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.307 / defence 1.056 | Al-Hilal Saudi FC attack 1.744 / defence 0.674. League average goals — home 1.399 / away 1.388. Al-Qadisiyah FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.307 — their λ of 1.23 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Hilal Saudi FC's defence strength of 0.674 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Al-Hilal Saudi FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.744 — the away xG of 2.56 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 43 Al-Qadisiyah FC games / 42 Al-Hilal Saudi FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Qadisiyah FC 14% | Draw 22% | Al-Hilal Saudi FC 64%. Fair-value odds: Al-Qadisiyah FC 7.14 | Draw 4.55 | Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.56. The model has a clear lean to Al-Hilal Saudi FC (64%) — a 50pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.79. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.79 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% reflects that both xG figures (1.23 / 2.56) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Hilal Saudi FC as the most likely outcome at 64% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.79 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 73% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 67%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Qadisiyah FC 80% | Al-Hilal Saudi FC 40% BTTS from recent games.
