Match Analysis

Form Analysis

Looking at all fixtures this season, Al Taawon stand at 1W 4D 5L from 10 Pro League matches — 0.70 PPG. Last five: L D L D L. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Al Taawon have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Al Taawon at Al Taawon Arena this season: 1W 5D 4L from 10 home games — 0.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Al-Qadisiyah FC — All Games: 9W 0D 1L from 10 Pro League fixtures this season — 2.70 PPG. Last five: L W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.50 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Defensively, 0.80 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 3 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-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.

Al-Qadisiyah FC's form when playing away from home: 8W 1D 1L across 10 road games this term (2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Al-Qadisiyah FC — 2.00 PPG ahead of the hosts (2.70 vs 0.70). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Al Taawon register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Al-Qadisiyah FC in 70% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 4 previous meetings, Al Taawon have won 2, Al-Qadisiyah FC 1, with 1 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

The 4 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 28 Feb 2026, ended 1–1 with a draw.

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.

In-Play Profile

Al Taawon in-play tendencies (40 games, 20 at home): they score before half-time in 60% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (home games).

Al-Qadisiyah FC in-play tendencies (40 games, 20 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; they lead at the break 45% of the time; BTTS occurs in 70% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 70% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 55%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Al Taawon 60% and Al-Qadisiyah FC 65% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al Taawon 50% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 68%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Taawon 0.62 xG and Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.36 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 0.632 / defence 0.755 | Al-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.416 / defence 0.732. League average goals — home 1.338 / away 1.272. Al Taawon's attack strength of 0.632 is below the league average — the 0.62 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Al-Qadisiyah FC's defence strength of 0.732 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Al-Qadisiyah FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.416 — the away xG of 1.36 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Al Taawon's defence rating of 0.755 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 40 Al Taawon games / 40 Al-Qadisiyah FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al Taawon 14% | Draw 33% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 52%. Fair-value odds: Al Taawon 7.14 | Draw 3.03 | Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.92. Al-Qadisiyah FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (33%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.98. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 1.98 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Qadisiyah FC as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 33% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Qadisiyah FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 1.98 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 32% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction — though form averaging only 3.0 goals per game points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 37%. This conflicts with form data: Al Taawon 60% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 70% from recent games — a notable divergence.
