Nacional vs Estrela Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.83 expected goals for Nacional and 1.50 for Estrela, a combined total of 3.33.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 65% for over 2.5 goals and 65% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Nacional win, at 45.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 65% and over 2.5 goals at 65%.
A 46% 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.
