Full Analysis

Al Taawon Arena plays host to Al Taawon versus Al-Faisaly FC in Pro League, Regular Season - 16. Kick-off: Thursday 3 December 2026 at 17:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Al Taawon have collected 0.40 PPG across 10 Pro League outings this season: 0W 4D 6L. Last five: L D L L D. They are averaging 0.40 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Al Taawon, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home at Al Taawon Arena, Al Taawon have gone 0W 5D 5L this season (10 games, 0.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.40 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.

Al-Faisaly FC's overall Pro League record this term: 2W 4D 4L from 10 games (1.00 PPG). Last five: W D L W L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Al-Faisaly FC, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Al-Faisaly FC have gone 1W 2D 3L from 6 away fixtures this term (0.83 PPG). Away from home they average 1.17 goals scored and 2.17 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 67% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

On a straight form reading, Al-Faisaly FC are the stronger side — 0.60 PPG clear of the hosts (1.00 vs 0.40). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.

H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record is closely matched — Al Taawon lead 0W to 0W over the last 2 encounters, with 2 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.

Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 4.0 goals per game across 2 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 10 Mar 2022, ended 2–2 with a draw.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 4.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Al Taawon goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (12 games, 6 at home): they score before half-time in 33% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 40% of the time; BTTS occurs in 17% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 17% of games (home games); they fail to score in 58% of games.

Al-Faisaly FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (12 games, 6 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 58%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al Taawon 42% versus Al-Faisaly FC 67%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al Taawon 42% | Al-Faisaly FC 58%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Taawon 1.17 xG and Al-Faisaly FC 1.03 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 Taawon attack 0.619 / defence 0.877 | Al-Faisaly FC attack 0.798 / defence 1.256. League average goals — home 1.505 / away 1.475. Al Taawon's attack strength of 0.619 is below the league average — the 1.17 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Al-Faisaly FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.256 — this is suppressing Al Taawon's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 46 Al Taawon games / 12 Al-Faisaly FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al Taawon 36% | Draw 34% | Al-Faisaly FC 29%. Fair-value odds: Al Taawon 2.78 | Draw 2.94 | Al-Faisaly FC 3.45. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 34% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 38% | BTTS probability 47% | Total xG 2.20. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 62% — total xG of 2.20 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 47% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Al Taawon as the most likely outcome at 36% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Al-Faisaly FC (1.00 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 34% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al Taawon if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.20 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 38% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 47% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Al Taawon 40% | Al-Faisaly FC 67%.
