Corinthians vs Cruzeiro Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.35 expected goals for Corinthians and 0.90 for Cruzeiro, a combined total of 2.25.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 39% for over 2.5 goals and 44% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 14%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Corinthians win, at 47.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 44% and over 2.5 goals at 39%.

A 47% 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.
