Trading Data

Al-Ahli Jeddah goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (35 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 53% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; they lead at the break 51% of the time; BTTS occurs in 35% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 35% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 51% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Qadisiyah FC 69% versus Al-Ahli Jeddah 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Qadisiyah FC 71% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 51%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.38 xG and Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.25 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-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.201 / defence 0.877 | Al-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.015 / defence 0.777. League average goals — home 1.476 / away 1.400. Al-Ahli Jeddah's defence strength of 0.777 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 35 Al-Qadisiyah FC games / 35 Al-Ahli Jeddah games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Al-Qadisiyah FC 40% | Draw 26% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 34%. Fair-value odds: Al-Qadisiyah FC 2.50 | Draw 3.85 | Al-Ahli Jeddah 2.94. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 53% | 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 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Qadisiyah FC are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al-Qadisiyah FC if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.62 combined xG gives a 49% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though form averaging only 2.9 goals per game and H2H averaging only 3.5 goals per meeting point in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Qadisiyah FC 70% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects. The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (35 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
