The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 2 Mar 2025, ended 1–0 with Al-Qadisiyah FC winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.95 xG and Al Riyadh 1.02 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 1.090 / defence 0.773 | Al Riyadh attack 0.887 / defence 1.229. League average goals — home 1.454 / away 1.483. Al Riyadh bring a strong defensive rating of 1.229 — this is suppressing Al-Qadisiyah FC's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Al-Qadisiyah FC's defence rating of 0.773 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 45 Al-Qadisiyah FC games / 45 Al Riyadh games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Qadisiyah FC 59% | Draw 22% | Al Riyadh 19%. Fair-value odds: Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.69 | Draw 4.55 | Al Riyadh 5.26. The model has a clear lean to Al-Qadisiyah FC (59%) — a 40pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.96. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.96 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Qadisiyah FC as the most likely outcome at 59% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.96 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 57% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 55% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Al-Qadisiyah FC 80% | Al Riyadh 80% BTTS from recent games.
