Eritrea vs Guinea Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.08 expected goals for Eritrea and 1.58 for Guinea, a combined total of 2.65.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 49% for over 2.5 goals and 52% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Guinea win, at 48.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 52% and over 2.5 goals at 49%.
A 49% 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.
