Newells Old Boys vs Independiente Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.00 expected goals for Newells Old Boys and 1.50 for Independiente, a combined total of 2.50.

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%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Independiente 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.
