Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone.

The form ledger tips toward Al-Fateh. A 1.30 PPG lead over Al Wehda Club (2.00 vs 0.70) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.

H2H History

The head-to-head record is closely matched — Al-Fateh lead 1W to 0W over the last 1 encounters, with 0 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.

The 1 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 27 Jan 2023, ended 2–0 with Al-Fateh winning.

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.

Trading & In-Play

Al-Fateh — key trading statistics (23 games, 11 at home): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; they lead at the break 48% of the time; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Fateh 48% versus Al Wehda Club 39%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Fateh 61% | Al Wehda Club 35%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Fateh 1.85 xG and Al Wehda Club 1.04 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-Fateh attack 1.124 / defence 1.173 | Al Wehda Club attack 0.693 / defence 1.155. League average goals — home 1.426 / away 1.278. Data: 53 Al-Fateh games / 23 Al Wehda Club games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Fateh 56% | Draw 23% | Al Wehda Club 21%. Fair-value odds: Al-Fateh 1.79 | Draw 4.35 | Al Wehda Club 4.76. The model has a clear lean to Al-Fateh (56%) — a 35pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.89. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.89 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Fateh are the pick at 56% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 23% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.89 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Over 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 55%. This conflicts with form data: Al-Fateh 40% | Al Wehda Club 30% from recent games — a notable divergence.
