Costa Rica W vs El Salvador W Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.24 expected goals for Costa Rica W and 1.17 for El Salvador W, a combined total of 2.41. That distribution gives Costa Rica W the largest share of the 1X2 market at 38%, with the draw at 28%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 43% for over 2.5 goals and 49% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 13%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 38% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 65.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 49% and over 2.5 goals at 43%.

    A 65% 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.
