Genoa vs Ascoli Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.39 expected goals for Genoa and 1.23 for Ascoli, a combined total of 3.62.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 70% for over 2.5 goals and 64% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 9%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Genoa win, at 62.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 64% and over 2.5 goals at 70%.

A 63% 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.
