Dundee vs Rangers Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.74 expected goals for Dundee and 2.01 for Rangers, a combined total of 2.75. That distribution gives Rangers the largest share of the 1X2 market at 67%, with the draw at 20%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 52% for over 2.5 goals and 45% for both teams to score, with 0–2 the single most likely scoreline at 13%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 67% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Rangers win, at 67.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 45% and over 2.5 goals at 52%.

A 67% 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.
