Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 1.89 xG and Al-Jazira 1.24 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: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai attack 1.189 / defence 0.753 | Al-Jazira attack 1.195 / defence 0.852. League average goals — home 1.868 / away 1.379. Shabab Al Ahli Dubai's defence rating of 0.753 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 37 Shabab Al Ahli Dubai games / 38 Al-Jazira games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 51% | Draw 26% | Al-Jazira 23%. Fair-value odds: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 1.96 | Draw 3.85 | Al-Jazira 4.35. Shabab Al Ahli Dubai hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.89 / 1.24) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Shabab Al Ahli Dubai at 51% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Shabab Al Ahli Dubai offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.13 combined xG gives a 61% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.6 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai 60% | Al-Jazira 60% BTTS from recent games.
