Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Qadisiyah FC 1.07 xG and Al-Ahli Jeddah 0.92 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-Qadisiyah FC attack 1.275 / defence 0.640 | Al-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.002 / defence 0.560. League average goals — home 1.506 / away 1.437. Al-Qadisiyah FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.275 — their λ of 1.07 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Ahli Jeddah's defence strength of 0.560 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Al-Qadisiyah FC's defence rating of 0.640 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 59 Al-Qadisiyah FC games / 59 Al-Ahli Jeddah games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Al-Qadisiyah FC 38% | Draw 33% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 30%. Fair-value odds: Al-Qadisiyah FC 2.63 | Draw 3.03 | Al-Ahli Jeddah 3.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 33% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS probability 41% | Total xG 2.00. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 2.00 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 41% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Al-Qadisiyah FC are the pick at 38% — marginal model lean.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.00 combined xG gives a 32% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 3.0 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 41%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Qadisiyah FC 50% | Al-Ahli Jeddah 20% BTTS from recent games.
