Al Qadsia vs Al Nasar: match statistics

Al Nasar sit top of the table and have won both of their league matches so far, while Al Qadsia are fourth after recording one victory. The visitors are showing clearly more consistent recent form: they are unbeaten in their last 5 matches (3 wins and 2 draws), whereas the hosts have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats during the same period. Al Nasar have scored 9 goals in their last five appearances and conceded only 4, while Al Qadsia’s record over the same stretch stands at 5 goals scored and 5 conceded. Away from home, the visitors average 1.44 xG, 14 shots and 5 shots on target per match, while scoring an average of 2 goals. Al Nasar’s defence allows opponents an average of 1.27 xG, so their greater consistency at both ends of the pitch points towards a win, although the hosts do have home advantage in their favour.

The signal for both teams to score is very clear: in the current campaign, both Al Qadsia and Al Nasar have recorded BTTS in 100% of their matches, and neither side has kept a clean sheet. Both teams score an average of 2.0 goals per match, while Al Qadsia allows opponents a high xG of 1.98, strengthening Al Nasar’s chances of finding the net. In their last five matches, Al Nasar averaged 1.8 goals and recorded BTTS in 80% of appearances, while Al Qadsia generated an xG of 1.56, meaning they still have solid attacking foundations despite averaging only 1.0 goal scored over this period. Further confirmation comes from the league, where BTTS has landed in 88% of matches, and the average of 3.5 goals supports an open game. The main risk is Al Qadsia’s BTTS rate dropping to 40% in their last five matches, but the overall seasonal data and both teams’ defensive profiles clearly favour the "BTTS - Yes" outcome.

The projection of 2.72 goals is based on a combination of recent form and chance quality: Al Qadsia averaged 1.0 goal over their last five matches, while Al Nasar averaged 1.8. Both defenses were relatively stable during this period, conceding 1.0 and 0.8 goals per match respectively, despite the visitors’ high attacking xG of 1.94. In the current data for both teams, every match finished with under 3.5 goals, while 100% featured at least three goals, pointing primarily to a range of 2–3 goals. The league is highly goal-oriented, averaging 3.5 goals per match, with 88% of games finishing Over 2.5. However, the lower figures from the last five matches—where Over 2.5 occurred in 40% of Al Qadsia’s games and 60% of Al Nasar’s—reduce the risk of four goals being scored. The strongest option is therefore Under 3.5 goals, as it allows room for the most likely scorelines of 1:1, 1:2, or 2:1.

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by an Al Nasar victory at full-time, as the visitors have remained unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three, while Al Qadsia have suffered two defeats. Both teams have recently been cautious in the first half: each averages 0.4 goals scored and conceded before the break, while the hosts have been level at half-time in 60% of their matches. After the interval, the advantage shifts to Al Nasar, who average 1.4 goals compared with Al Qadsia’s 0.6 and have won the second half in 80% of their recent matches. The visitors also have the better overall record: they score an average of 1.8 goals and concede 0.8, compared with the hosts’ 1.0 scored and 1.0 conceded. Although Al Qadsia average more shots on target—8 compared with 5—Al Nasar’s greater efficiency in the closing stages of matches supports a turnaround after half-time and a victory from a level scoreline.
