Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.98 expected goals for Ivory Coast and 0.95 for Burkina Faso, a combined total of 1.93. That distribution gives Ivory Coast the largest share of the 1X2 market at 35%, with the draw at 32%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 30% for over 2.5 goals and 38% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 15%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 35% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 66.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 38% and over 2.5 goals at 30%.

A 67% 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.
