What we expect from each side, next to how they have been doing lately.
Each card is drawn on one scale, so the two bars are directly comparable. “Above recent” means our forecast is higher than their average over the last six.
How likely the big moments are, and what they add up to.
How likely each side is to reach these totals before half-time. A longer bar means more likely.
Ranked by our probability, strongest first — our three strongest above the line.
Al Ittihad are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. They have won five of their last six. The model sees around three goals in it.
Al Ittihad or draw, 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.
Chance of at least one goal before half-time: 80%
First-half numbers are our full-match forecast split by how much of each side's shooting and corners usually comes before the break. The small bars under each number are that side's most recent first halves (up to six).
At half-time we update each side’s chance of scoring in the second half from what the first half showed.
Bawler's model rates this match: Al Ittihad are favoured (44% win probability vs 30% for Neom SC, 26% draw). The model uses each side’s expected goals, recent form and the strength of the opposition.
The most likely scoreline from Bawler's model is Al Ittihad 1-1 Neom SC (12.4% probability). Expected total goals: 2.8.
Bawler estimates each side's expected goals from its results and the quality of its chances, adjusted for the strength of the opposition and for home advantage, then works out the chance of every scoreline to get win, draw and both-teams-to-score probabilities. Team news and lineups are not built into these numbers. For this match that gives Al Ittihad 44%, the draw 26% and Neom SC 30%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
Probably — Bawler's model gives both teams scoring a 57% chance. That is based on Al Ittihad expecting 1.57 goals and Neom SC 1.27.
Bawler's model expects 2.8 goals in total. It leans slightly towards three or more goals: over 2.5 goals is 54%.
