✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
It is a Pro League clash, Regular Season - 27 as Al-Ahli Jeddah welcome Al-Fayha to King Abdullah Sports City. Kick-off is set for Sunday 18 April 2027 at 18:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Pro League games this season, Al-Ahli Jeddah have gone 8W 0D 2L from 10 outings — a 2.40 PPG return. Last five: W W L L W. They are averaging 2.70 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Al-Ahli Jeddah have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
In front of their own supporters this season, Al-Ahli Jeddah have posted 10W 0D 0L at King Abdullah Sports City — 3.00 PPG. They are averaging 3.50 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 7 clean sheets from 10 home games (70%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at King Abdullah Sports City. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 3.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 2.40 — Al-Ahli Jeddah are significantly better at King Abdullah Sports City than their overall form suggests.
Al-Fayha — All Games: 2W 3D 5L from 10 Pro League fixtures this season — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L L D W D. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet 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. Al-Fayha have played only a handful of Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
On the road, Al-Fayha have gone 2W 2D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.
Al-Ahli Jeddah are in the better shape of the two on current Pro League data — 1.50 PPG ahead (2.40 vs 0.90). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
H2H
The fixture history tells a clear story: Al-Ahli Jeddah have dominated this rivalry, winning 5 of 8 past contests while Al-Fayha have managed just 1 wins.
The 8 previous meetings have averaged 2.4 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 8 Apr 2026, ended 1–1 with a draw.
The historical record gives Al-Ahli Jeddah a meaningful edge here — 5 wins from 8 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.
In-Play Data
Al-Ahli Jeddah trading profile (39 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 90% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; they lead at the break 51% of the time; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 74% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 36%; they keep a clean sheet 51% of the time.
Al-Fayha trading profile (39 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Al-Ahli Jeddah 44% versus Al-Fayha 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Al-Ahli Jeddah 56% | Al-Fayha 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Al-Ahli Jeddah 2.28 xG and Al-Fayha 0.70 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-Ahli Jeddah attack 1.606 / defence 0.645 | Al-Fayha attack 0.833 / defence 1.018. League average goals — home 1.397 / away 1.309. Al-Ahli Jeddah carry an above-average attack strength of 1.606 — their λ of 2.28 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Al-Ahli Jeddah's defence rating of 0.645 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 39 Al-Ahli Jeddah games / 39 Al-Fayha games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Al-Ahli Jeddah 71% | Draw 20% | Al-Fayha 8%. Fair-value odds: Al-Ahli Jeddah 1.41 | Draw 5.00 | Al-Fayha 12.50. The model has a clear lean to Al-Ahli Jeddah (71%) — a 63pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS probability 47% | Total xG 2.99. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.99 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 47% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Al-Ahli Jeddah as the most likely outcome at 71% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 2.99 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 57% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 47%. Form rates corroborate: Al-Ahli Jeddah 30% | Al-Fayha 40% BTTS from recent games.
