Algeria vs Guatemala Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.09 expected goals for Algeria and 1.18 for Guatemala, a combined total of 3.27. That distribution gives Algeria the largest share of the 1X2 market at 58%, with the draw at 21%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 63% for over 2.5 goals and 61% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 58% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Head-to-head

Head-to-head history is temporarily unavailable. The prediction is unaffected — it is built from current form, home and away performance, goals data and competition statistics.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Algeria win, at 58.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 61% and over 2.5 goals at 63%.

A 58% 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.
