Iraq vs Yemen Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.02 expected goals for Iraq and 2.06 for Yemen, a combined total of 3.08. That distribution gives Yemen the largest share of the 1X2 market at 62%, with the draw at 21%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 59% for over 2.5 goals and 56% for both teams to score, with 1–2 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 62% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Head-to-head
Head-to-head history is temporarily unavailable. The prediction is unaffected — it is built from current form, home and away performance, goals data and competition statistics.
Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Yemen win, at 61.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.
It puts both teams scoring at 56% and over 2.5 goals at 59%.
A 62% 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.
