Analysis & Preview
Al-Ahli Jeddah travel to Kingdom Arena to take on Al-Hilal Saudi FC in Pro League (matchday 23). The game is scheduled for Friday 28 February 2025 at 19:00 UK time.
Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Al-Hilal Saudi FC have gone 6W 2D 2L — a 2.00 PPG return. Last five: W D D L W. They are averaging 3.50 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Al-Hilal Saudi FC's home record over their last 10 home games: 9W 1D 0L (2.80 PPG). They are averaging 3.70 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 2.00 — Al-Hilal Saudi FC are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Al-Ahli Jeddah stand at 8W 0D 2L — 2.40 PPG. Last five: W W L W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.60 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
On the road, Al-Ahli Jeddah have gone 6W 1D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 1.90 is notably below their overall 2.40 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 2.00 PPG, Al-Ahli Jeddah 2.40 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H
The head-to-head sample comes down firmly in favour of Al-Hilal Saudi FC: 4 wins from 5 H2H matches against 0 for Al-Ahli Jeddah, with 1 draw.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.6 per game across the 5 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 5 Oct 2024, ended Al-Hilal Saudi FC 2–1 Al-Ahli Jeddah — a Al-Hilal Saudi FC win.
From a betting standpoint, the H2H data backs both Al-Hilal Saudi FC and goals — 4 wins from 5 H2H matches and an average of 3.6 goals per game give the home win and Over 2.5 combination a head-to-head case.
In-Play Data
Al-Hilal Saudi FC trading profile (last 56 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 82% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 100% of those occasions; they lead at the break 62% of the time; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 75%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 71% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 50%.
Al-Ahli Jeddah trading profile (last 56 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 39%; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Hilal Saudi FC 61% versus Al-Ahli Jeddah 48%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Hilal Saudi FC 75% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 52%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.92 xG and Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.11 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-Hilal Saudi FC attack 1.850 / defence 0.773 | Al-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.055 / defence 0.688. League average goals — home 1.507 / away 1.357. Al-Hilal Saudi FC carry an above-average attack rating of 1.850 — their 1.92 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Ahli Jeddah bring a tight defence (rating 0.688, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Al-Hilal Saudi FC's projected output down. Al-Hilal Saudi FC have a tight defence (rating 0.773), which is pulling Al-Ahli Jeddah's projected output down. Data: built from Al-Hilal Saudi FC's last 56 games and Al-Ahli Jeddah's last 56.
Result probabilities: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 56% | Draw 22% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 22%. Fair-value odds: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.78 | Draw 4.52 | Al-Ahli Jeddah 4.62. The model has a clear lean to Al-Hilal Saudi FC (56%) — a 34pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 3.02. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.02 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Al-Hilal Saudi FC at 56% — clear model lean. The head-to-head data (Al-Hilal Saudi FC 4 wins from 5 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.02 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Al-Hilal Saudi FC's last 10 home games and Al-Ahli Jeddah's last 10 away games) averaging 3.3 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.6 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.
Poisson assigns a 57% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 60% (last 10 home games) | Al-Ahli Jeddah 30% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Al-Ahli Jeddah beat Al-Hilal Saudi FC 2-3 at Kingdom Arena, Regular Season - 23, in the Pro League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.92 xG and Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.11 xG, a combined 3.02. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Al-Ahli Jeddah outscored their 1.11 projection by 1.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Hilal Saudi FC attack 1.85 / defence 0.77 against Al-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.05 / defence 0.69, drawn from 56/56 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Al-Hilal Saudi FC 56% | Draw 22% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 22%, with Al-Hilal Saudi FC to win its most likely call at 56%. Instead the game produced a Al-Ahli Jeddah win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. Over 3.5 was 36% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 63% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Hilal Saudi FC 75%, Al-Ahli Jeddah 52%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
