📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Damac and Al Najma finished level at 0-0 at Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium, Regular Season - 9, 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 Damac 1.83 xG and Al Najma 1.21 xG, a combined 3.04. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Damac fell 1.8 short of their projected output. Al Najma landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Damac attack 0.80 / defence 1.05 against Al Najma attack 0.74 / defence 1.49, drawn from 42/8 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Damac 51% | Draw 24% | Al Najma 24%, with Damac to win its most likely call at 51%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 62% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Damac 50%, Al Najma 75%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 88%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Damac's trading profile (8 games, 4 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 100% of their matches — today it did not.

Al Najma's trading profile (8 games, 4 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 75% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Damac arrived the stronger side — 0.50 PPG against 0.00. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Damac (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.75 average — tighter than their form line. Al Najma (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 3.00 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.
