📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al-Nassr beat Al Taawon 1-0 at King Saud University Stadium, Regular Season - 18, 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-Nassr 1.89 xG and Al Taawon 1.62 xG, a combined 3.52. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Al-Nassr fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Al Taawon landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Nassr attack 1.44 / defence 0.94 against Al Taawon attack 1.18 / defence 0.86, drawn from 50/50 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al-Nassr 44% | Draw 24% | Al Taawon 33%, with Al-Nassr to win its most likely call at 44%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 68%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 87% and missed. Over 3.5 was 47% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 69% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Nassr 74%, Al Taawon 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al-Nassr's trading profile (50 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 72% of their matches — today it did not.

Al Taawon's trading profile (50 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Al-Nassr arrived the stronger side — 2.08 PPG against 1.60. Form held, and they took the win. Al-Nassr (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.36 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.04 average — tighter than their form line. Al Taawon (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.32 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
