Albania vs San Marino Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 3.52 expected goals for Albania and 0.60 for San Marino, a combined total of 4.13.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 77% for over 2.5 goals and 44% for both teams to score, with 3–0 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 89% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Albania win, at 89.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 44% and over 2.5 goals at 77%.

A 89% 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.
