Livingston vs Dunfermline Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.91 expected goals for Livingston and 0.76 for Dunfermline, a combined total of 1.66.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 23% for over 2.5 goals and 32% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 19%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 71.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 32% and over 2.5 goals at 23%.

A 71% 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.
