📊 Match recap and data context

Al Kholood defeated Al Ahli 3-1 in the Saudi Pro League, handing our model its first miss of the fixture. Our AI engine had backed Al Ahli at 58% probability. Al Kholood, winless in four of their last five outings, broke through decisively at home; both sides had shown a 60% both-teams-to-score rate in recent form, and that pattern held. The result overturned the head-to-head record, which had favoured Al Ahli in their sole prior meeting. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
