Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Wasl FC 2.04 xG and Al Bataeh 1.45 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-Wasl FC attack 1.081 / defence 1.034 | Al Bataeh attack 0.904 / defence 1.019. League average goals — home 1.855 / away 1.553. Data: 34 Al-Wasl FC games / 34 Al Bataeh games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Wasl FC 49% | Draw 26% | Al Bataeh 25%. Fair-value odds: Al-Wasl FC 2.04 | Draw 3.85 | Al Bataeh 4.00. Al-Wasl FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 68% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 3.50. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 68% — a total xG of 3.50 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 69% reflects that both xG figures (2.04 / 1.45) 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-Wasl FC at 49% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al-Wasl FC if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 3.50 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 68% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.2 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 69% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Al-Wasl FC 50% | Al Bataeh 60% BTTS from recent games.
