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: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai attack 1.187 / defence 0.918 | Al-Wasl FC attack 1.106 / defence 0.939. League average goals — home 1.834 / away 1.545.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 71% | Total xG 3.61.

BTTS Yes at 71% reflects that both xG figures (2.04 / 1.57) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
