📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al Khaleej Saihat beat Al-Fayha 3-0 at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, Regular Season - 2, 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 Khaleej Saihat 1.42 xG and Al-Fayha 1.57 xG, a combined 2.98. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Al Khaleej Saihat beat their projection by 1.6 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Al-Fayha landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Khaleej Saihat attack 0.96 / defence 1.09 against Al-Fayha attack 0.94 / defence 1.01, drawn from 35/35 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Al Khaleej Saihat 35% | Draw 24% | Al-Fayha 41%, with Al-Fayha to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Al Khaleej Saihat win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, 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 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Khaleej Saihat 63%, Al-Fayha 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Khaleej Saihat's trading profile (35 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

Al-Fayha's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 49% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Al Khaleej Saihat 1.14 PPG, Al-Fayha 1.11 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Al Khaleej Saihat win broke the near-deadlock. Al Khaleej Saihat (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.18 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.59 average — tighter than their form line. Al-Fayha (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.94 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.71 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
