Ivory Coast vs Mozambique Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.75 expected goals for Ivory Coast and 1.05 for Mozambique, a combined total of 2.81. That distribution gives Ivory Coast the largest share of the 1X2 market at 54%, with the draw at 24%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 53% for over 2.5 goals and 54% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 11%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 54% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Ivory Coast win, at 53.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 54% and over 2.5 goals at 53%.

A 54% 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.
