Bohemians vs Derry City Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.38 expected goals for Bohemians and 1.13 for Derry City, a combined total of 2.50. That distribution gives Bohemians the largest share of the 1X2 market at 43%, with the draw at 27%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 46% for over 2.5 goals and 51% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 13%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 43% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 69.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 51% and over 2.5 goals at 46%.

A 69% 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.
