Analysis & Preview

Al-Fayha travel to Al-Jouf University Stadium to take on Al Orubah in Pro League (matchday 29). The game is scheduled for Thursday 24 April 2025 at 18:30 UK time.

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Al Orubah stand at 4W 0D 6L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: L L L L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

Al Orubah at home: 3W 0D 7L from their last 10 home games — 0.90 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Across their last 10 games, Al-Fayha have recorded 3W 4D 3L — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L W D W L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.

When travelling, Al-Fayha have posted 3W 3D 4L from their last 10 away outings — 1.20 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Al Orubah at 1.20 PPG versus Al-Fayha's 1.30. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 1 H2H match, Al Orubah have won 1, Al-Fayha 0, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.0 per game across the 1 H2H match we hold, giving Under 2.5 a clear head-to-head base rate. The most recent of those, on 28 Nov 2024, ended Al Orubah 1–0 Al-Fayha — a Al Orubah win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.0 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

In-Play Data

Al Orubah trading profile (last 28 games, 14 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; BTTS occurs in 21% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (home games); they fail to score in 57% of games.

Al-Fayha trading profile (last 28 games, 14 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; of the 5 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 50% of games.

The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams scored in only 29% of Al Orubah's games and 36% of Al-Fayha's. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al Orubah 54% | Al-Fayha 36%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Orubah 1.07 xG and Al-Fayha 1.47 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 Orubah attack 0.666 / defence 1.338 | Al-Fayha attack 0.815 / defence 1.106. League average goals — home 1.448 / away 1.349. Al Orubah's attack rating of 0.666 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.07. Al Orubah's defence rating of 1.338 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Al-Fayha's projected output up. Data: built from Al Orubah's last 28 games and Al-Fayha's last 62.

Result probabilities: Al Orubah 27% | Draw 27% | Al-Fayha 46%. Fair-value odds: Al Orubah 3.71 | Draw 3.69 | Al-Fayha 2.18. Al-Fayha hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.54. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.54 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Fayha are the pick at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al-Fayha offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.54 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 53% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on Yes. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Al Orubah 30% (last 10 home games) | Al-Fayha 40% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
