📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al-Nassr beat Al-Ahli Jeddah 2-3 at Al Inma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City, Regular Season - 20, in the Pro League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.67 xG and Al-Nassr 1.29 xG, a combined 2.96. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Al-Nassr outscored their 1.29 projection by 1.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.24 / defence 0.76 against Al-Nassr attack 1.28 / defence 0.86, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al-Ahli Jeddah 46% | Draw 24% | Al-Nassr 30%, with Al-Ahli Jeddah to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual Al-Nassr win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 57%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. Over 3.5 was 34% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 63% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Ahli Jeddah 51%, Al-Nassr 76%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al-Ahli Jeddah's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and conceded here.

Al-Nassr's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 68% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.94 PPG, Al-Nassr 2.32 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Al-Nassr win broke the near-deadlock. Al-Ahli Jeddah (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 0.65 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Al-Nassr (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.12 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
