📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al Orubah beat Al Taawon 3-2 at Al-Jouf University Stadium, Regular Season - 34, 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 Orubah 0.77 xG and Al Taawon 1.47 xG, a combined 2.24. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. Al Orubah beat their projection by 2.2 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Orubah attack 0.69 / defence 1.35 against Al Taawon attack 0.76 / defence 0.72, drawn from 33/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al Orubah 20% | Draw 27% | Al Taawon 54%, with Al Taawon to win its most likely call at 54%. Instead the game produced a Al Orubah win, an outcome the model had rated at just 20% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 39%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed. Over 3.5 was 19% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Orubah 61%, Al Taawon 30%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 38%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Orubah's trading profile (33 games, 16 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did.

Al Taawon's trading profile (33 games, 16 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Al Taawon arrived the stronger side — 1.36 PPG against 0.91. Form was overturned, with Al Orubah winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Al Orubah (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 0.88 average — above their attacking norm. Al Taawon (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.88 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 0.94 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
