Moreirense vs Benfica Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.15 expected goals for Moreirense and 3.13 for Benfica, a combined total of 4.28.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 80% for over 2.5 goals and 65% for both teams to score, with 1–3 the single most likely scoreline at 8%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Benfica win, at 76.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–3.

It puts both teams scoring at 65% and over 2.5 goals at 80%.

A 76% 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.
