Cameroon W vs Mali W Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.85 expected goals for Cameroon W and 1.23 for Mali W, a combined total of 3.08. That distribution gives Cameroon W the largest share of the 1X2 market at 52%, with the draw at 23%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 60% for over 2.5 goals and 60% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 52% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Cameroon W win, at 51.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 60% and over 2.5 goals at 60%.

A 52% 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.
