📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al Taawon beat Al Khaleej Saihat 0-1 at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium, Regular Season - 20, 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 Khaleej Saihat 1.10 xG and Al Taawon 1.07 xG, a combined 2.17. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Al Khaleej Saihat fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Khaleej Saihat attack 1.00 / defence 0.99 against Al Taawon attack 0.80 / defence 0.71, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al Khaleej Saihat 36% | Draw 29% | Al Taawon 34%, with Al Khaleej Saihat to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual Al Taawon win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 64% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Khaleej Saihat 51%, Al Taawon 38%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Khaleej Saihat's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Al Taawon's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Al Khaleej Saihat 1.21 PPG, Al Taawon 1.57 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Al Taawon win broke the near-deadlock. Al Khaleej Saihat (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.23 scoring average — below par going forward. Al Taawon (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.96 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.
