New Zealand vs Belgium Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.00 expected goals for New Zealand and 1.50 for Belgium, a combined total of 2.50. That distribution gives Belgium the largest share of the 1X2 market at 49%, with the draw at 26%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 46% for over 2.5 goals and 49% for both teams to score, with 0–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 49% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Belgium win, at 48.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 49% and over 2.5 goals at 46%.
A 49% 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.
