Al Kholood vs Al Feiha: match statistics

Al Feiha is the favorite in this match due to superior defensive metrics: they have conceded 45 goals across the season versus 57 for Al Kholood, and in the last 5 matches the visitors have conceded only 4 goals compared to 13 conceded by the hosts (avg. 0.8 vs 2.6 per game). Offensively the sides are comparable — Al Kholood scores 1.14 goals per home game, Al Feiha averages 1.20 goals away, and both teams have netted 7 goals in their last 5 matches. Chance quality also slightly favors the visitors: average xG for Al Feiha is 1.12 versus 1.06 for the hosts, while xG against is 1.52 vs 1.64, suggesting better defensive chance control from Al Feiha. Additionally, over the last five matches Al Feiha collects 1.4 points per game compared to 1.0 for Al Kholood, and the visitors’ away win rate is 27% versus 21% home wins for the hosts. Based on this I expect a win for the visitors, although both teams concede frequently — hosts average 2.14 goals conceded per home game, visitors 2.00 away — so the match could still be open.

Seasonal BTTS rates are 50% for Al Kholood and 53% for Al Feiha, against a league BTTS level of 59%, indicating a moderate tendency toward Goal/Goal. In the last 5 matches Al Kholood registered BTTS in 80% of games and conceded an average of 2.6 goals, whereas Al Feiha had only 20% BTTS and conceded 0.8 goals in that span — signals are mixed, but seasonal stats point to greater vulnerability from the visitors. Seasonally Al Kholood scores 1.21 and concedes 1.07 per match, while Al Feiha scores 1.20 and concedes 2.0, so the notably higher conceding average for Al Feiha (2.0) increases the likelihood of goals for the hosts. xG shows similar offensive values 1.06 (home) and 1.12 (away) with xG against 1.38 and 1.52, suggesting both teams create chances and allow scoring situations. Considering the league BTTS level of 59% and the combination of seasonal and recent conceding indicators, I rate BTTS - Yes as more likely (68% vs 32%).

The xG model predicts a total of ~2.54 goals: Al Kholood has an attacking xG of 1.06 and xG against Al Feiha of 1.52, yielding about 1.29 expected goals for the home side; Al Feiha posts an attacking xG of 1.12 and xG against Al Kholood of 1.38, i.e. ~1.25 expected goals. Seasonal averages confirm both teams score around 1.2 goals per match (1.21 vs 1.20), but Al Feiha concedes realistically 2.00 goals per game versus 1.07 conceded by the hosts, which increases the risk of goals. Historically both teams often exceed 1.5 goals: Al Kholood has 79% of matches over 1.5, Al Feiha 87%, and BTTS is 50%/53%, hence a strong signal for Over 1.5 (I estimate 88%). The 2.5 line is more balanced — seasonal Over 2.5 is 36% (home) vs 67% (away), the league has 56% Over 2.5, and our expected 2.54 gives a slight edge to Over 2.5 (~57%). Over 3.5 looks unlikely (seasonOver35 21%/33% and expected 2.54 < 3.5), therefore Under 3.5 has the advantage (~72%).

The most likely scenario is a draw at half-time and a draw at full-time (X/X) — in my model it has a 26% probability, slightly higher than 1/1 at 25%. First-half statistics indicate parity: home teams led at the break in 36% of matches, half-time draws also occurred in 36%, and average goals by half are 1.21 for hosts and 1.20 for visitors. Although the away side concedes on average 2.0 goals this season and lose away in 67% of cases, their last five matches show better defensive form (0.4 goals conceded on average) versus 1.6 conceded by the hosts in their last five, which increases the chance of a draw. Both teams’ xG are similar (1.06 for Al Kholood vs 1.12 for Al Feiha), and both sides scored in 50% and 53% of matches respectively, suggesting an even outcome, typically 1-1. For these reasons X/X (26%) is my pick; the 1/1 scenario (25%) remains a close alternative due to the home advantage in points per home match (1.5 points per game vs 0.87 for visitors).
