Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Wasl FC 1.49 xG and Al Wahda FC 1.12 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 1.168 / defence 0.782 | Al Wahda FC attack 1.073 / defence 0.875. League average goals — home 1.455 / away 1.338. Al-Wasl FC have a tight defence (rating 0.782), which is pulling Al Wahda FC's projected output down. Data: built from Al-Wasl FC's last 46 games and Al Wahda FC's last 45.

Result probabilities: Al-Wasl FC 46% | Draw 26% | Al Wahda FC 29%. Fair-value odds: Al-Wasl FC 2.19 | Draw 3.87 | Al Wahda FC 3.50. Al-Wasl FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al-Wasl FC as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Wasl FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.61 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 52% — low conviction — though recent form (Al-Wasl FC's last 10 home games and Al Wahda FC's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.0 goals per game across 7 H2H matches point the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Al-Wasl FC 50% (last 10 home games) | Al Wahda FC 40% (last 10 away games).
