Form Guide

Al-Hilal Saudi FC — All Games: 9W 0D 1L from 10 Pro League outings this season, averaging 2.70 points per game. Last five: L W W W W. They are averaging 3.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 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 Al-Hilal Saudi FC, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home at Kingdom Arena, Al-Hilal Saudi FC have gone 8W 1D 1L this season (10 games, 2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.60 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Kingdom Arena. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Across all Pro League games this season, Al-Qadisiyah FC have recorded 7W 1D 2L from 10 outings — 2.20 PPG. Last five: D W W W L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.30 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. This season is still relatively young for Al-Qadisiyah FC, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Al-Qadisiyah FC's away record: 8W 1D 1L from 10 road trips in Pro League this season (2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.70 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.

On current form, Al-Hilal Saudi FC have the edge — a 0.50 PPG advantage (2.70 vs 2.20) represents a meaningful gap. That momentum makes them the form-based pick, though if the outright price looks short, Draw No Bet is worth comparing.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 5 previous meetings, Al-Hilal Saudi FC have won 2, Al-Qadisiyah FC 1, with 2 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 5 meetings have averaged 3.6 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 23 Oct 2026, ended 3–2 with Al-Hilal Saudi FC winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.6 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Al-Hilal Saudi FC in-play and half-time data (44 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 91% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; they lead at the break 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 46%; they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time.

Al-Qadisiyah FC in-play and half-time data (44 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 73% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; they lead at the break 46% of the time; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 54%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Hilal Saudi FC 50% versus Al-Qadisiyah FC 64%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Hilal Saudi FC 61% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 68%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Hilal Saudi FC 1.14 xG and Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.80 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 1.295 / defence 0.855 | Al-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.467 / defence 0.620. League average goals — home 1.423 / away 1.432. Al-Hilal Saudi FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.295 — their λ of 1.14 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Qadisiyah FC's defence strength of 0.620 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Al-Qadisiyah FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.467 — the away xG of 1.80 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 44 Al-Hilal Saudi FC games / 45 Al-Qadisiyah FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 22% | Draw 28% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 50%. Fair-value odds: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 4.55 | Draw 3.57 | Al-Qadisiyah FC 2.00. Al-Qadisiyah FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 2.94. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.94 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Qadisiyah FC are the pick at 50% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Al-Hilal Saudi FC (2.70 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Qadisiyah FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.94 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 56% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.6 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. This conflicts with form data: Al-Hilal Saudi FC 30% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 50% from recent games — a notable divergence.
