📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Al Urooba beat Ajman 2-3 at Ajman Stadium, Regular Season - 23, 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 Ajman 2.60 xG and Al Urooba 0.76 xG, a combined 3.35. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Al Urooba outscored their 0.76 projection by 2.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ajman attack 1.18 / defence 1.07 against Al Urooba attack 0.53 / defence 1.43, drawn from 48/22 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Ajman 77% | Draw 15% | Al Urooba 9%, with Ajman to win its most likely call at 77%. Instead the game produced a Al Urooba win, an outcome the model had rated at just 9% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ajman 59%, Al Urooba 68%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
