📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al Taawon beat Al Najma 1-0 at Al Taawon Arena, Regular Season - 12, in the Pro League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Al Taawon 2.63 xG and Al Najma 0.93 xG, a combined 3.55. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Al Taawon fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Al Najma landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al Taawon attack 1.31 / defence 0.95 against Al Najma attack 0.67 / defence 1.37, drawn from 44/10 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al Taawon 73% | Draw 18% | Al Najma 10%, with Al Taawon to win its most likely call at 73%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 69%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 88% and missed. Over 3.5 was 48% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 65% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al Taawon 60%, Al Najma 70%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Al Taawon's trading profile (10 games, 5 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one.

Al Najma's trading profile (10 games, 5 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 70% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Al Taawon arrived the stronger side — 2.50 PPG against 0.10. That form edge translated into the three points. Al Taawon (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.60 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.60 average — tighter than their form line. Al Najma (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.80 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 2.20 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
