Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.70 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for Al-Ahli Jeddah, so this record blends games from this season and last.

They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Al Khaleej Saihat — All Games: 4W 3D 3L from 10 Pro League fixtures this season — 1.50 PPG. Last five: L D W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.40 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. This season is still relatively young for Al Khaleej Saihat, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Al Khaleej Saihat away from home this season: 4W 2D 4L from 10 away games — 1.40 PPG on the road. They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support.

Al-Ahli Jeddah are in the better shape of the two on current Pro League data — 1.00 PPG ahead (2.50 vs 1.50). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.

Both teams score in over 80% of each side's relevant games (using home/away splits). At that combined rate, BTTS Yes is as well-evidenced as it gets — the data strongly backs two-way scoring.

H2H Record

Al-Ahli Jeddah hold a clear advantage in this fixture, picking up 3 wins from 4 previous encounters compared to 0 for Al Khaleej Saihat, with 1 draws in between.

The 4 previous encounters between these sides have been high-scoring affairs — 3.0 goals per contest on average. Historical precedent backs the Over 2.5 goals market. The most recent clash, on 7 Mar 2025, ended 2–2 with a draw.

Al-Ahli Jeddah in-play and half-time data (49 games, 25 at home): they score before half-time in 80% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 93% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Ahli Jeddah 49% versus Al Khaleej Saihat 63%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Ahli Jeddah 47% | Al Khaleej Saihat 67%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.99 xG and Al Khaleej Saihat 1.37 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-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.175 / defence 0.822 | Al Khaleej Saihat attack 1.156 / defence 1.110. League average goals — home 1.527 / away 1.444. Data: 49 Al-Ahli Jeddah games / 49 Al Khaleej Saihat games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Ahli Jeddah 52% | Draw 22% | Al Khaleej Saihat 26%. Fair-value odds: Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.92 | Draw 4.55 | Al Khaleej Saihat 3.85. Al-Ahli Jeddah hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 65% | Total xG 3.37. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.37 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 65% reflects that both xG figures (1.99 / 1.37) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Ahli Jeddah as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 22% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Ahli Jeddah offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 3.37 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 65% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 65%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Ahli Jeddah 80% | Al Khaleej Saihat 90% BTTS from recent games.
