📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al-Fayha and Al Shabab finished level at 0-0 at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, Regular Season - 3, 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-Fayha 1.38 xG and Al Shabab 1.43 xG, a combined 2.81. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Al-Fayha fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Al Shabab landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Fayha attack 0.89 / defence 0.91 against Al Shabab attack 1.09 / defence 0.98, drawn from 36/36 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Al-Fayha 36% | Draw 25% | Al Shabab 39%, with Al Shabab to win its most likely call at 39%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Fayha 42%, Al Shabab 67%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al-Fayha's trading profile (36 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 50% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Al Shabab's trading profile (36 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Al Shabab arrived the stronger side — 1.75 PPG against 1.08. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Al-Fayha (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.18 average — tighter than their form line. Al Shabab (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.71 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.29 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
