Norwich vs Derby Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.90 expected goals for Norwich and 1.50 for Derby, a combined total of 3.40. That distribution gives Norwich the largest share of the 1X2 market at 47%, with the draw at 22%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 66% for over 2.5 goals and 66% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 47% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Norwich win, at 47.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 66% and over 2.5 goals at 66%.
A 47% 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.
