How It Unfolded

Al-Ahli Jeddah beat Al Kholood 0-1 at Al-Hazem Club Stadium, Regular Season - 16, in the Pro League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Al Kholood 0.91 xG and Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.60 xG, a combined 2.52. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Al Kholood fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Kholood attack 0.86 / defence 1.34 against Al-Ahli Jeddah attack 0.85 / defence 0.69, drawn from 48/48 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al Kholood 21% | Draw 25% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 54%, with Al-Ahli Jeddah to win its most likely call at 54%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Kholood 60%, Al-Ahli Jeddah 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Kholood's trading profile (48 games, 23 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Al-Ahli Jeddah's trading profile (48 games, 23 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and duly kept one.

On form, Al-Ahli Jeddah arrived the stronger side — 2.04 PPG against 1.08. That form edge translated into the three points.
