Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.16 xG and Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.95 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-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.282 / defence 1.010 | Al-Hilal Saudi FC attack 1.520 / defence 0.676. League average goals — home 1.338 / away 1.272. Al-Qadisiyah FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.282 — their λ of 1.16 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Hilal Saudi FC's defence strength of 0.676 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Al-Hilal Saudi FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.520 — the away xG of 1.95 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 40 Al-Qadisiyah FC games / 40 Al-Hilal Saudi FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Qadisiyah FC 20% | Draw 27% | Al-Hilal Saudi FC 53%. Fair-value odds: Al-Qadisiyah FC 5.00 | Draw 3.70 | Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.89. Al-Hilal Saudi FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.11. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.11 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.16 / 1.95) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Hilal Saudi FC as the most likely outcome at 53% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Hilal Saudi FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 3.11 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 60% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Qadisiyah FC 60% | Al-Hilal Saudi FC 50% BTTS from recent games.
