Saqr bin Mohammad al Qassimi Stadium plays host to Khorfakkan versus Al Bataeh in Pro League, Regular Season - 22. Kick-off: Saturday 11 April 2026 at 17:30 UTC.

Form

Khorfakkan (all games): 3W 3D 4L across 10 Pro League fixtures this term — 1.20 PPG. Last five: D L D L W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Khorfakkan, so this record blends games from this season and last.

In front of their own supporters this season, Khorfakkan have posted 1W 4D 5L at Saqr bin Mohammad al Qassimi Stadium — 0.70 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 0.70 lags behind their overall 1.20 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at Saqr bin Mohammad al Qassimi Stadium this season.

Al Bataeh's overall Pro League record this term: 2W 6D 2L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: L L W D D. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Al Bataeh, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Al Bataeh away from home this season: 2W 3D 5L from 10 away games — 0.90 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.20 for Khorfakkan, 1.20 for Al Bataeh — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Khorfakkan have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Al Bataeh in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 7 head-to-head meetings have produced 2 wins for Khorfakkan, 3 for Al Bataeh and 2 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.3 per game across 7 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 24 Aug 2025, ended 1–2 with Al Bataeh winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.3 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Khorfakkan goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (47 games, 23 at home): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 70% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 47%.

Al Bataeh goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (47 games, 23 at away): they score before half-time in 83% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Khorfakkan 64% and Al Bataeh 60% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Khorfakkan 64% | Al Bataeh 51%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Khorfakkan 1.21 xG and Al Bataeh 1.55 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: Khorfakkan attack 0.937 / defence 1.231 | Al Bataeh attack 0.923 / defence 0.887. League average goals — home 1.455 / away 1.364. Data: 47 Khorfakkan games / 47 Al Bataeh games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Khorfakkan 30% | Draw 25% | Al Bataeh 45%. Fair-value odds: Khorfakkan 3.33 | Draw 4.00 | Al Bataeh 2.22. Al Bataeh hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.76. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.76 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Al Bataeh at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al Bataeh if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.76 combined xG gives a 52% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.3 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 55%. Form rates corroborate: Khorfakkan 70% | Al Bataeh 60% BTTS from recent games.
