Gabon vs Ivory Coast Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.28 expected goals for Gabon and 1.72 for Ivory Coast, a combined total of 3.00. That distribution gives Ivory Coast the largest share of the 1X2 market at 48%, with the draw at 24%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 58% for over 2.5 goals and 59% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 11%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 48% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Ivory Coast win, at 47.6%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 59% and over 2.5 goals at 58%.
A 48% 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.
