Al-Hazm's overall Pro League record this term: 3W 3D 4L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: W L D W L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market.

Al Kholood (all games): 4W 1D 5L across 10 Pro League outings this term — 1.30 points per game. Last five: L L W W L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Al Kholood, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Al Kholood have gone 5W 1D 4L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.60 PPG). They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.20 PPG for Al-Hazm against 1.30 for Al Kholood. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 1 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for Al-Hazm, 0 for Al Kholood and 0 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 3.0 goals per game across 1 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 21 Nov 2025, ended 2–1 with Al-Hazm winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading

Al-Hazm half-time and goal-timing data (25 games, 12 at home): they score before half-time in 42% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

Al Kholood half-time and goal-timing data (25 games, 12 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 36%; they fail to score in 40% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Hazm 64% versus Al Kholood 52%; no strong lean in either direction. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Al-Hazm 64% | Al Kholood 68%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Hazm 1.38 xG and Al Kholood 2.26 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-Hazm attack 0.902 / defence 1.405 | Al Kholood attack 1.124 / defence 1.017. League average goals — home 1.498 / away 1.431. Data: 25 Al-Hazm games / 59 Al Kholood games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Hazm 22% | Draw 21% | Al Kholood 57%. Fair-value odds: Al-Hazm 4.55 | Draw 4.76 | Al Kholood 1.75. The model has a clear lean to Al Kholood (57%) — a 35pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 68% | Total xG 3.64. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.64 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 68% reflects that both xG figures (1.38 / 2.26) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Al Kholood as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.64 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 70% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 68% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Al-Hazm 80% | Al Kholood 50% BTTS from recent games.
