Form & Momentum

Shabab Al Ahli Dubai have collected 1.90 PPG across 10 Pro League outings this season: 5W 4D 1L. Last five: W W D L D. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 0.70 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for Shabab Al Ahli Dubai, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.90 — Shabab Al Ahli Dubai are significantly better at Rashid Stadium than their overall form suggests.

Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. This season is still relatively young for Dibba Al Hisn, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Poisson Model

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 49% | Total xG 3.05.
