Our forecast for this match. The tick on each bar is that side’s average over their last six.
Each row is drawn on one scale, so a bar means the same length on both sides. Second-half goals are our full-match forecast minus our first half.
The small bars under each number are that side’s most recent matches (up to six), home and away, against opponents of mixed strength, oldest on the left; the dashed line is the number we expect. Our forecast is for this opponent at this ground, so a favourite’s recent numbers often sit below it and an underdog’s above it.
What each side has actually done lately, home and away — a record, not a forecast.
Ranked by our probability, strongest first — our three strongest above the line.
Al Taawoun are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. They have lost four of their last six. The model sees around three goals in it.
Al Taawoun 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: 75%
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 Taawoun are favoured (41% win probability vs 33% for Al Riyadh, 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 Riyadh 1-1 Al Taawoun (11.8% probability). Expected total goals: 3.0.
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 Riyadh 33%, the draw 26% and Al Taawoun 41%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
Probably — Bawler's model gives both teams scoring a 60% chance. That is based on Al Riyadh expecting 1.41 goals and Al Taawoun 1.60.
Bawler's model expects 3.0 goals in total. It leans slightly towards three or more goals: over 2.5 goals is 58%.
