✍️ Match Preview
Full Analysis
Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium plays host to Al-Faisaly FC versus Al-Ittihad FC in Pro League, Regular Season - 3. Kick-off: Friday 27 August 2021 at 17:00 UTC.
Current Form
Al-Faisaly FC's overall Pro League record this term: 1W 1D 0L from 2 games (2.00 PPG). Last five: D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.00 conceded. Both teams have scored in 100% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone. Al-Faisaly FC have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Al-Ittihad FC have collected 1.50 PPG across 2 Pro League outings this season: 1W 0D 1L. Last five: L W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 0.50. 1 clean sheet from 2 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Al-Ittihad FC have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Form favours the hosts. Al-Faisaly FC's 2.00 PPG return is 0.50 points per game ahead of Al-Ittihad FC's 1.50 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Faisaly FC 1.50 xG and Al-Ittihad FC 0.80 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-Faisaly FC attack 1.018 / defence 1.160 | Al-Ittihad FC attack 0.729 / defence 1.097. League average goals — home 1.348 / away 0.947. Data: 2 Al-Faisaly FC games / 2 Al-Ittihad FC games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: Al-Faisaly FC 50% | Draw 33% | Al-Ittihad FC 16%. Fair-value odds: Al-Faisaly FC 2.00 | Draw 3.03 | Al-Ittihad FC 6.25. Al-Faisaly FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (33%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 41% | BTTS probability 46% | Total xG 2.31. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 59% — total xG of 2.31 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 46% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Al-Faisaly FC at 50% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 33% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Al-Faisaly FC if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 2.31 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 41% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (2 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

Where the Numbers Come From
The model rates Al-Faisaly FC's attack at 1.02x the league average against Al-Ittihad FC's defence at 1.10x — combine the two and it projects 1.50 expected goals for the hosts. Flip it around — Al-Ittihad FC's attack (0.73x) against Al-Faisaly FC's defence (1.16x) — and the away total comes out at 0.80.
The sample (2/2 games) mixes this season and last, since the current campaign is still relatively young.

Close behind: 1-0 (13.4%), 0-0 (11.5%). Those top three scorelines alone account for 39% of the model's total probability mass — a relatively concentrated, predictable distribution for this fixture.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Al-Ittihad FC beat Al-Faisaly FC 1-2 at Al Majma'ah Sports City Stadium, Regular Season - 3, in the Pro League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Al-Faisaly FC 1.50 xG and Al-Ittihad FC 0.80 xG, a combined 2.31. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Al-Ittihad FC outscored their 0.80 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Faisaly FC attack 1.02 / defence 1.16 against Al-Ittihad FC attack 0.73 / defence 1.10, drawn from 2/2 games (Blended).
On the result, the model split it Al-Faisaly FC 50% | Draw 33% | Al-Ittihad FC 16%, with Al-Faisaly FC to win its most likely call at 50%. Instead the game produced a Al-Ittihad FC win, an outcome the model had rated at just 16% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Al-Faisaly FC 50%, Al-Ittihad FC 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Form vs Result
On form, Al-Faisaly FC arrived the stronger side — 2.00 PPG against 1.50. Form was overturned, with Al-Ittihad FC winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Al-Faisaly FC shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
