Trading Data

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Al Kholood 60% and Al Wehda Club 70% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Al Kholood 55% | Al Wehda Club 75%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Kholood 2.06 xG and Al Wehda Club 1.45 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Al Kholood attack 1.018 / defence 1.203 | Al Wehda Club attack 0.872 / defence 1.352. League average goals — home 1.498 / away 1.378. Al Wehda Club bring a strong defensive rating of 1.352 — this is suppressing Al Kholood's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 20 Al Kholood games / 54 Al Wehda Club games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al Kholood 52% | Draw 21% | Al Wehda Club 27%. Fair-value odds: Al Kholood 1.92 | Draw 4.76 | Al Wehda Club 3.70. Al Kholood hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (21%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.51. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.51 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% reflects that both xG figures (2.06 / 1.45) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Al Kholood as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

The Poisson model projects 3.51 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 68% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.6 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 67% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Al Kholood 56% | Al Wehda Club 70% BTTS from recent games.
