📊 Match recap and data context

Al Kholood defeated Al Taawoun 3-2 in the Saudi Pro League, a result that missed our model's pick of an Al Taawoun win at 47% probability. Both sides had matched records over their last five matches, each with two wins, two draws and one loss. The fixture delivered both teams' attacking tendencies; Al Taawoun's recent run showed an 80% both-teams-to-score rate, and that pattern held as goals flowed at both ends. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
