Fixture Analysis

Baniyas SC welcome Al Bataeh to Baniyas Stadium in Pro League (matchday 23). Kick-off is Tuesday 14 May 2024 at 16:10 UK time.

Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Baniyas SC have gone 3W 0D 7L — a 0.90 PPG return. Last five: L L W L L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Baniyas SC at home: 4W 1D 5L from their last 10 home games — 1.30 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Al Bataeh — last 10 games: 3W 1D 6L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: W L D L L. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 2.10. Conceding 2.10 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

On the road, Al Bataeh have gone 4W 2D 4L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Baniyas SC at 0.90 PPG versus Al Bataeh's 1.00. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Baniyas SC's games and 60% of Al Bataeh's (from Baniyas SC's last 10 home games and Al Bataeh's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Baniyas SC have won 0, Al Bataeh 2, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.3 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 8 Dec 2023, ended Baniyas SC 1–2 Al Bataeh — a Al Bataeh win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.3 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Baniyas SC in-play and half-time data (last 47 games, 23 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 65% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; of the 6 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 24 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 36%; they fail to score in 32% of games.

Al Bataeh in-play and half-time data (last 47 games, 23 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 74% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 74% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Baniyas SC 60% and Al Bataeh 64% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Baniyas SC 64% | Al Bataeh 70%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Baniyas SC 1.57 xG and Al Bataeh 1.66 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: Baniyas SC attack 1.027 / defence 1.079 | Al Bataeh attack 0.881 / defence 0.973. League average goals — home 1.574 / away 1.744. Data: built from Baniyas SC's last 47 games and Al Bataeh's last 47.

Result probabilities: Baniyas SC 37% | Draw 23% | Al Bataeh 40%. Fair-value odds: Baniyas SC 2.74 | Draw 4.29 | Al Bataeh 2.49. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 23% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.23. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.23 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% — both xG figures (1.57 / 1.66) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Al Bataeh as the most likely outcome at 40% — marginal model lean. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Al Bataeh offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 37% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.23 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 63% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Baniyas SC's last 10 home games and Al Bataeh's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 64% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Baniyas SC 60% (last 10 home games) | Al Bataeh 60% (last 10 away games).
