Current Form

Al-Qadisiyah FC's overall Pro League record this term: 8W 1D 1L from 10 games (2.50 PPG). Last five: W W W W D. They are averaging 2.50 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Al-Qadisiyah FC have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Al Kholood (all games): 3W 5D 2L across 10 Pro League outings this term — 1.40 points per game. Last five: D W D W L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Al Kholood have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Al Kholood's away record: 2W 4D 4L from 10 road trips in Pro League this season (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Form favours the hosts. Al-Qadisiyah FC's 2.50 PPG return is 1.10 points per game ahead of Al Kholood's 1.40 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Al-Qadisiyah FC have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Al Kholood in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Qadisiyah FC 2.10 xG and Al Kholood 1.29 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 1.363 / defence 1.108 | Al Kholood attack 0.868 / defence 1.128. League average goals — home 1.367 / away 1.338. Al-Qadisiyah FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.363 — their λ of 2.10 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 41 Al-Qadisiyah FC games / 41 Al Kholood games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Qadisiyah FC 53% | Draw 26% | Al Kholood 20%. Fair-value odds: Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.89 | Draw 3.85 | Al Kholood 5.00. Al-Qadisiyah FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 66% | Total xG 3.39. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.39 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 66% reflects that both xG figures (2.10 / 1.29) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Al-Qadisiyah FC at 53% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al-Qadisiyah FC if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 3.39 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 66% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.2 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 66% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Al-Qadisiyah FC 70% | Al Kholood 60% BTTS from recent games.
