Al Ahli are the model's pick, without being a certainty. They have lost four of their last six, and the model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Al Fateh. Expect goals: the model sees around three.
Al Ahli to win, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.
Each row is the call re-priced for that scoreline at half-time. Lineups are not in it — we publish per-player shooting rates, not a squad-strength number, so what a rested front three does to this figure is not something we can honestly put a number on.
Bawler's model rates this match: Al Ahli are favoured (63% win probability vs 16% for Al Fateh, 21% draw). The model uses rolling xG, recent form, and lineup data.
The most likely scoreline from Bawler's model is Al Fateh 1-2 Al Ahli (9.7% probability). Expected total goals: 3.28.
Bawler builds each side's expected goals from a rolling 26-match window, adjusts for home advantage and for injuries or absences in the confirmed squads, then runs the resulting scoreline distribution to get win, draw and both-teams-to-score probabilities. For this match that gives Al Fateh 16%, the draw 21% and Al Ahli 63%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
BTTS: Yes (58% probability) — both attacks should find the net. Based on home expected goals 1.05 and away expected goals 2.22.
