📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al-Ittihad Kalba beat Ajman 0-1 at Ajman Stadium, Regular Season - 11, 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 Ajman 1.42 xG and Al-Ittihad Kalba 1.24 xG, a combined 2.66. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Ajman fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ajman attack 0.96 / defence 1.02 against Al-Ittihad Kalba attack 0.93 / defence 1.16, drawn from 35/36 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Ajman 41% | Draw 26% | Al-Ittihad Kalba 33%, with Ajman to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Al-Ittihad Kalba win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 50%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 74% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ajman 51%, Al-Ittihad Kalba 57%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Ajman's trading profile (35 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Al-Ittihad Kalba's trading profile (35 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result
