Netherlands vs Serbia Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.75 expected goals for Netherlands and 1.00 for Serbia, a combined total of 2.75. That distribution gives Netherlands the largest share of the 1X2 market at 55%, with the draw at 24%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 52% for over 2.5 goals and 52% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 11%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 55% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Netherlands win, at 55.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 52% and over 2.5 goals at 52%.

A 55% 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.
