Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.57 xG and Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.35 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-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.307 / defence 0.864 | Al-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.126 / defence 0.800. League average goals — home 1.499 / away 1.388. Al-Ahli Jeddah carry an above-average attack rating of 1.307 — their 1.57 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Al-Ahli Jeddah's last 55 games and Al-Qadisiyah FC's last 21.

Result probabilities: Al-Ahli Jeddah 43% | Draw 25% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 33%. Fair-value odds: Al-Ahli Jeddah 2.35 | Draw 4.08 | Al-Qadisiyah FC 3.04. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 59% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 59% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Ahli Jeddah are the pick at 43% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al-Ahli Jeddah if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.92 combined xG gives a 56% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Al-Ahli Jeddah's last 10 home games and Al-Qadisiyah FC's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Al-Ahli Jeddah 50% (last 10 home games) | Al-Qadisiyah FC 50% (last 10 away games).
