Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Jazira 1.07 xG and Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 1.56 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-Jazira attack 0.856 / defence 0.972 | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai attack 1.058 / defence 0.803. League average goals — home 1.551 / away 1.512.

Result probabilities: Al-Jazira 26% | Draw 26% | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 48%. Fair-value odds: Al-Jazira 3.85 | Draw 3.85 | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 2.08. Shabab Al Ahli Dubai hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.62. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.62 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 52%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Jazira 40% | Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 70% BTTS from recent games.
