📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, Regular Season - 22, as Al Khaleej Saihat and Al-Ittihad FC drew 1-1 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 1.26 xG and Al-Ittihad FC 1.68 xG, a combined 2.95. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Khaleej Saihat attack 0.95 / defence 0.99 against Al-Ittihad FC attack 1.25 / defence 0.89, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al Khaleej Saihat 29% | Draw 24% | Al-Ittihad FC 47%, with Al-Ittihad FC to win its most likely call at 47%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Khaleej Saihat 49%, Al-Ittihad FC 69%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Khaleej Saihat's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.

Al-Ittihad FC's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 66% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result
