Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Nassr 1.35 xG and Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.42 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-Nassr attack 1.355 / defence 0.773 | Al-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.402 / defence 0.714. League average goals — home 1.397 / away 1.309. Al-Nassr carry an above-average attack strength of 1.355 — their λ of 1.35 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Qadisiyah FC's defence strength of 0.714 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 1.402 — the away xG of 1.42 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Al-Nassr's defence rating of 0.773 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 39 Al-Nassr games / 39 Al-Qadisiyah FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Nassr 33% | Draw 30% | Al-Qadisiyah FC 36%. Fair-value odds: Al-Nassr 3.03 | Draw 3.33 | Al-Qadisiyah FC 2.78. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 52% | BTTS probability 59% | 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 probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
