Match description
I back the away win as Safa are in better form: they have scored 7 goals and won 4 of their last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 points per match over that period, while Al Ahed scored only 3 goals and average 1.6 points per match in their last 5. Away, Safa average 1.5 goals scored and concede 1.0, whereas Al Ahed at home average 1.0 scored and 1.43 conceded, which favors the visitors. Al Ahed do generate higher home xG (1.39 vs 0.98 for Safa), but have a lower shooting efficiency (conversion 10% vs 13% for Safa) and lower expected returns from chances. Additionally Safa control on average 62% possession away versus 51% for Al Ahed and have a better recent run (4 wins in 5 vs 2 wins for Al Ahed), while the hosts have a negative home goal differential (-3). On this basis I estimate probabilities of roughly 50% for Safa, 25% for a draw and 25% for Al Ahed.
