NK Osijek vs Rudes Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 3.00 expected goals for NK Osijek and 1.25 for Rudes, a combined total of 4.25.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 79% for over 2.5 goals and 68% for both teams to score, with 3–1 the single most likely scoreline at 8%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is NK Osijek win, at 72.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 3–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 68% and over 2.5 goals at 79%.
A 73% 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.
