Mito Hollyhock vs Kashima Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.38 expected goals for Mito Hollyhock and 2.03 for Kashima, a combined total of 3.40.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 66% for over 2.5 goals and 65% for both teams to score, with 1–2 the single most likely scoreline at 9%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Kashima win, at 52.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 65% and over 2.5 goals at 66%.

A 53% 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.
