Boca Juniors vs Union Santa Fe Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.76 expected goals for Boca Juniors and 0.69 for Union Santa Fe, a combined total of 2.45. That distribution gives Boca Juniors the largest share of the 1X2 market at 63%, with the draw at 23%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 44% for over 2.5 goals and 41% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 15%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Boca Juniors win, at 63.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 41% and over 2.5 goals at 44%.

A 63% 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.
