Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Bataeh 0.99 xG and Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 2.19 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 Bataeh attack 0.755 / defence 1.309 | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai attack 1.204 / defence 0.746. League average goals — home 1.754 / away 1.393. Al Bataeh's attack strength of 0.755 is below the league average — the 0.99 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Shabab Al Ahli Dubai's defence strength of 0.746 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Shabab Al Ahli Dubai have an above-average attack strength of 1.204 — the away xG of 2.19 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road.

Result probabilities: Al Bataeh 16% | Draw 20% | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 65%. Fair-value odds: Al Bataeh 6.25 | Draw 5.00 | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 1.54. The model has a clear lean to Shabab Al Ahli Dubai (65%) — a 49pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 3.18. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.18 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
