Empoli vs Cremonese Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.23 expected goals for Empoli and 1.02 for Cremonese, a combined total of 2.25. That distribution gives Empoli the largest share of the 1X2 market at 41%, with the draw at 29%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 39% for over 2.5 goals and 45% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 13%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 41% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 69.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 45% and over 2.5 goals at 39%.

A 69% 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.
