Al-Ahli Jeddah

1.93Betano · fair 1.79 · qualifies at 1.85+ · 2.00u
Why this price?

Back Al-Ahli Jeddah to win at 1.93 with Betano.

Our model puts the chance at 65% and the bookmakers' own consensus, margin removed, at 49%; we judge it at 56%, weighting the market more than the model, which is a fair price of 1.79. The offered 1.93 implies only 52%, so the price is 7.6% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

Stake 2.00 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.

Projected goals: Al Shabab 1.09, Al-Ahli Jeddah 2.36.

The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Al-Ahli Jeddah favoured against Al Shabab

Our model makes Al Shabab 16% to win this Saudi Pro League fixture, with the draw at 19% and Al-Ahli Jeddah at 65%. The goal projection is 1.09 for Al Shabab against 2.36 for Al-Ahli Jeddah — a commanding edge to Al-Ahli Jeddah on expected output. A combined 3.45 goals points to a high-tempo game with chances at both ends, which puts over 2.5 at 67% and both teams to score at 61%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-2 at 10%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. Al-Ahli Jeddah is a strong favourite here on the numbers, but a 35% chance of not winning is not a remote possibility — it is roughly a one-in-three shot. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.
