✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Al-Ittihad FC and Al-Ettifaq meet at King Abdullah Sports City in Pro League (matchday 31). This fixture gets under way on Friday 10 May 2024 at 20:00 UK time.
Current Form
Al-Ittihad FC's record over their last 10 games: 5W 1D 4L (1.60 PPG). Last five: L D W L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.70 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
At home, Al-Ittihad FC have gone 6W 1D 3L in their last 10 home games (1.90 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Al-Ettifaq have collected 1.30 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 4D 3L. Last five: L W D D L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
When travelling, Al-Ettifaq have posted 3W 4D 3L from their last 10 away outings — 1.30 PPG. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.60 PPG for Al-Ittihad FC against 1.30 for Al-Ettifaq. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
H2H Analysis
Neither side has dominated the 4 H2H matches in our data: 2 wins for Al-Ittihad FC, 0 for Al-Ettifaq and 2 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.
The 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 24 Nov 2023, ended Al-Ittihad FC 1–1 Al-Ettifaq — a draw.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading Data
Al-Ittihad FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 60 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; they lead at the break 47% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time.
Al-Ettifaq goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 60 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 63% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; of the 9 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 19 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 26%; BTTS occurs in 33% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games (away games); they fail to score in 38% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Ittihad FC 47% versus Al-Ettifaq 42%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Ittihad FC 62% | Al-Ettifaq 40%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Ittihad FC 1.38 xG and Al-Ettifaq 1.39 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-Ittihad FC attack 1.123 / defence 1.131 | Al-Ettifaq attack 0.900 / defence 0.843. League average goals — home 1.459 / away 1.361. Data: built from Al-Ittihad FC's last 60 games and Al-Ettifaq's last 60.
Result probabilities: Al-Ittihad FC 36% | Draw 28% | Al-Ettifaq 36%. Fair-value odds: Al-Ittihad FC 2.81 | Draw 3.51 | Al-Ettifaq 2.79. The model can't separate the sides — both are rated at 36% to win, with the draw at 28%. There is no result lean here.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.77. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 52%/48% — the total xG of 2.77 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model can't separate the sides — Al-Ittihad FC 36% and Al-Ettifaq 36%, with the draw at 28%. There is no result lean from the model; the goals and BTTS markets below are where it has a view.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.77 combined xG gives a 52% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Al-Ittihad FC's last 10 home games and Al-Ettifaq's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 58%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Al-Ittihad FC 80% (last 10 home games) | Al-Ettifaq 40% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Al-Ettifaq beat Al-Ittihad FC 0-5 at King Abdullah Sports City, Regular Season - 31, 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-Ittihad FC 1.38 xG and Al-Ettifaq 1.39 xG, a combined 2.77. The scoreboard read 0-5 for 5 actual goals. Al-Ittihad FC fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Al-Ettifaq outscored their 1.39 projection by 3.6. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Ittihad FC attack 1.12 / defence 1.13 against Al-Ettifaq attack 0.90 / defence 0.84, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Al-Ittihad FC 36% | Draw 28% | Al-Ettifaq 36%, with Al-Ittihad FC to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual Al-Ettifaq win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 52%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 78% and landed. Over 3.5 was 30% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Ittihad FC 62%, Al-Ettifaq 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 44%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Al-Ittihad FC's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time, and conceded here.
Al-Ettifaq's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
On form, Al-Ittihad FC arrived the stronger side — 2.03 PPG against 1.30. Form was overturned, with Al-Ettifaq winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Al-Ittihad FC (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 5 against a 0.97 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Al-Ettifaq (home/away splits) scored 5 against a 0.90 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.10 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
