📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at EGO Stadium, Regular Season - 32, as Al-Ettifaq and Damac drew 0-0 in the Pro League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Al-Ettifaq 1.28 xG and Damac 1.08 xG, a combined 2.36. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Al-Ettifaq fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Damac landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Ettifaq attack 0.82 / defence 0.94 against Damac attack 0.78 / defence 1.01, drawn from 65/65 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al-Ettifaq 41% | Draw 28% | Damac 31%, with Al-Ettifaq to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Ettifaq 43%, Damac 51%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al-Ettifaq's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Damac's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Al-Ettifaq 1.40 PPG, Damac 1.15 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Al-Ettifaq (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.16 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.38 average — tighter than their form line. Damac (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.06 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.59 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
