📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al Shabab and Al Najma finished level at 0-0 at Al-Shabab Club Stadium, Regular Season - 17, in the Pro League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Al Shabab 2.34 xG and Al Najma 1.11 xG, a combined 3.45. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Al Shabab fell 2.3 short of their projected output. Al Najma landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Shabab attack 1.08 / defence 1.12 against Al Najma attack 0.68 / defence 1.39, drawn from 49/15 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al Shabab 65% | Draw 19% | Al Najma 17%, with Al Shabab to win its most likely call at 65%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 67%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 86% and missed. Over 3.5 was 45% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Shabab 33%, Al Najma 67%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 67%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Shabab's trading profile (15 games, 7 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Al Najma's trading profile (15 games, 7 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 73% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Al Shabab arrived the stronger side — 0.73 PPG against 0.20. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Al Shabab (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.43 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.86 average — tighter than their form line. Al Najma (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.86 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 2.14 average — tighter than their form line.

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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
