Archived pre-match analysis

This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

Al Shabab are slight favourites: they have collected 4 points and scored 6 goals in seven league matches, while Al Taawon have earned 3 points and scored just 3 goals. Neither side has won yet, but the visitors have lost all 3 of their away games so far, while the hosts have drawn twice and lost twice at home. In their last five matches, Al Shabab have scored 5 goals and conceded 8, compared with 2 scored and 10 conceded by Al Taawon, which gives the hosts the edge in both attacking output and recent form. Chance quality is comparable: Al Shabab average 1.51 xG at home, while Al Taawon average 1.42 xG away, and both teams concede 2 goals per match in these conditions. The defensive frailties on both sides and their winless runs call for caution, so a draw remains a notable alternative to a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest signal in favor of BTTS - No is that Al Shabab have failed to score in any of their matches at home so far, despite averaging 1.70 xG. The hosts have also kept a clean sheet in 75% of their home matches, while Al Taawon have averaged 1.0 goals away from home. However, the visitors have scored just 0.4 goals per game across their last 5 matches, despite averaging 1.49 xG, pointing to a problem with converting chances. In favor of a Goal/Goal scenario are Al Taawon’s weaker defense, conceding an average of 2.0 goals away from home, and the fact that 60% of Al Shabab’s matches in their last five have seen both teams score. Even so, the hosts’ failure to score at home so far and the visitors’ low scoring rate in their last 5 appearances give the edge to the selection that at least one team will fail to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest pick is Under 3.5 goals: this line has not been exceeded in 75% of Al Shabab’s home matches and 67% of Al Taawon’s away matches. In their last five games, both teams went Over 2.5 goals in only 40% of matches, further limiting expectations of a higher-scoring game. Al Shabab create chances worth an average of 1.70 xG at home, but have yet to score there, while Al Taawon average 1.0 goal away from home. The visitors do concede an average of 2.0 goals on the road, so a total of two or three goals remains realistic; however, the projected total of 2.35 goals gives Under 3.5 a clearer edge than the lower lines.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome, as Al Shabab went into the break level in 3 of its 4 home matches and drew at half-time in each of its last 5 matches, regardless of venue. Both teams have struggled to score: the hosts are yet to find the net at home, while Al Taawon have averaged just 0.4 goals across their last 5 matches. Al Shabab have drawn 3 of their 4 home games, which, given their lack of clinical finishing so far, points to the draw holding through to full-time as well. However, the risk of a turnaround is significant: the hosts generate 1.70 xG at home and average 16.5 shots, while the visitors concede an average of 2 goals away from home. Therefore, a draw at half-time and full-time remains the primary pick, although a draw at the break followed by an Al Shabab win is a close alternative.
