Albania vs Latvia Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.33 expected goals for Albania and 0.65 for Latvia, a combined total of 1.98. That distribution gives Albania the largest share of the 1X2 market at 53%, with the draw at 29%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 32% for over 2.5 goals and 35% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 18%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 53% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Albania win, at 53.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 35% and over 2.5 goals at 32%.

A 53% 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.
