Poisson model rates Al-Fayha at 43%, yet other data sources diverge — this Al-Fayha vs Al-Raed fixture contains genuine analytical tension.

✍️ Match Preview

Analysis & Preview

A Pro League encounter, Regular Season - 5 sees Al-Raed travel to Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium to take on Al-Fayha. The game is scheduled for Friday 1 September 2023, 16:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Pro League games this season, Al-Fayha have gone 3W 4D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.30 PPG return. Last five: W W D D L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Al-Fayha have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Al-Fayha's home record at Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium: 3W 4D 3L from 10 Pro League appearances (1.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Al-Raed — All Games: 3W 2D 5L from 10 Pro League fixtures this season — 1.10 PPG. Last five: L L L L W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.50. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Al-Raed have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

On the road, Al-Raed have gone 1W 4D 5L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

The form comparison is too close to call — 1.30 PPG (Al-Fayha) versus 1.10 (Al-Raed). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

H2H

The H2H landscape is flat: 4 previous encounters have yielded 2 wins for Al-Fayha, 1 for Al-Raed and 1 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.

The 4 previous meetings have averaged 2.5 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 22 May 2023, ended 1–1 with a draw.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

In-Play Data

Al-Fayha trading profile (34 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

Al-Raed trading profile (34 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 88% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 69% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%; they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Fayha 50% versus Al-Raed 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Fayha 47% | Al-Raed 71%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Fayha 1.30 xG and Al-Raed 0.99 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-Fayha attack 0.978 / defence 0.860 | Al-Raed attack 0.857 / defence 1.060. League average goals — home 1.251 / away 1.339. Data: 34 Al-Fayha games / 34 Al-Raed games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Fayha 43% | Draw 29% | Al-Raed 28%. Fair-value odds: Al-Fayha 2.33 | Draw 3.45 | Al-Raed 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.29. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.29 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Fayha as the most likely outcome at 43% — marginal model lean. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Fayha offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.29 combined xG gives a 40% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 46% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Al-Fayha 30% | Al-Raed 50% BTTS from recent games.

💡 Key Insights

H2H The H2H record is evenly balanced (2W–1D–1W), with no clear historical advantage.
Form Al-Fayha Poisson xG (1.30) exceeds their recent form scoring rate (1.00) — the model sees more attacking threat than recent results show.
Goals Poisson Over 2.5 probability is only 40% — the model points to an Under 2.5 outcome.

🧮 Model Insight

How the Model Works This Match

Working from Al-Fayha's attack rating (0.98) and Al-Raed's defence rating (1.06), the model arrives at 1.30 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, Al-Raed's attack versus Al-Fayha's defence, projects 0.99 expected goals for the visitors.

These ratings are built from 34/34 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.

The Exact-Score Picture

Run the expected-goals figures through the full scoreline distribution and 1-1 emerges as the single most likely result, at 14.7%. Close behind: 0-0 (11.9%), 1-0 (11.5%). Those top three scorelines alone account for 38% of the model's total probability mass — a relatively concentrated, predictable distribution for this fixture.

The Model vs The Result
