Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al Taee 1.58 xG and Al-Ittihad FC 2.21 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 Taee attack 1.065 / defence 1.300 | Al-Ittihad FC attack 1.283 / defence 1.308. League average goals — home 1.137 / away 1.327. Al-Ittihad FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.308 — this is suppressing Al Taee's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Al-Ittihad FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.283 — the away xG of 2.21 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 27 Al Taee games / 27 Al-Ittihad FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al Taee 28% | Draw 20% | Al-Ittihad FC 52%. Fair-value odds: Al Taee 3.57 | Draw 5.00 | Al-Ittihad FC 1.92. Al-Ittihad FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (20%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 71% | Total xG 3.80. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.80 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 71% reflects that both xG figures (1.58 / 2.21) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Ittihad FC are the pick at 52% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.80 combined xG gives a 73% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 71%. Form rates corroborate: Al Taee 80% | Al-Ittihad FC 70% BTTS from recent games.
