Al Merreikh vs APR Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.90 expected goals for Al Merreikh and 1.00 for APR, a combined total of 1.90. That distribution gives APR the largest share of the 1X2 market at 37%, with the draw at 32%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 30% for over 2.5 goals and 38% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 15%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 37% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 68.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 38% and over 2.5 goals at 30%.

A 68% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
