Germany U21 vs Northern Ireland U21 Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.60 expected goals for Germany U21 and 0.70 for Northern Ireland U21, a combined total of 3.29.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 64% for over 2.5 goals and 46% for both teams to score, with 2–0 the single most likely scoreline at 13%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Germany U21 win, at 78.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 46% and over 2.5 goals at 64%.
A 78% 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.
