Cruzeiro vs Gremio Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.35 expected goals for Cruzeiro and 1.03 for Gremio, a combined total of 2.38. That distribution gives Cruzeiro the largest share of the 1X2 market at 44%, with the draw at 27%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 42% for over 2.5 goals and 48% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 13%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 44% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 71.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 48% and over 2.5 goals at 42%.

A 72% 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.
