Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Wahda FC 2.26 xG and Al Urooba 1.09 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 Wahda FC attack 1.078 / defence 0.995 | Al Urooba attack 0.683 / defence 1.145. League average goals — home 1.830 / away 1.611. Data: 34 Al Wahda FC games / 8 Al Urooba games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al Wahda FC 62% | Draw 22% | Al Urooba 16%. Fair-value odds: Al Wahda FC 1.61 | Draw 4.55 | Al Urooba 6.25. The model has a clear lean to Al Wahda FC (62%) — a 46pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.35. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.35 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (2.26 / 1.09) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Al Wahda FC at 62% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.35 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 65% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Al Wahda FC 70% | Al Urooba 33%.
