Northern Ireland W vs Portugal W Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.26 expected goals for Northern Ireland W and 1.99 for Portugal W, a combined total of 3.25.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 63% for over 2.5 goals and 62% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%.

    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Portugal W win, at 54.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 62% and over 2.5 goals at 63%.

    A 54% 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.
