IR Reykjavik vs Njardvik Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Goals markets follow the same shape: 66% for over 2.5 goals and 67% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%.

    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 65.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 67% and over 2.5 goals at 66%.

    A 66% 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.
