Morocco W vs South Africa W Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.68 expected goals for Morocco W and 0.83 for South Africa W, a combined total of 2.52.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 46% for over 2.5 goals and 46% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 14%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Morocco W win, at 57.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 46% and over 2.5 goals at 46%.

A 58% 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.
