Larne vs Bangor Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Goals markets follow the same shape: 38% for over 2.5 goals and 32% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 19%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Larne win, at 66.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 32% and over 2.5 goals at 38%.

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.
