Japan W vs South Korea W Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.82 expected goals for Japan W and 1.51 for South Korea W, a combined total of 4.33.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 80% for over 2.5 goals and 73% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 8%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Japan W win, at 64.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 73% and over 2.5 goals at 80%.

A 65% 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.
