Penafiel vs Sporting CP B Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.03 expected goals for Penafiel and 1.07 for Sporting CP B, a combined total of 2.10.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 35% for over 2.5 goals and 42% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 14%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 66.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 42% and over 2.5 goals at 35%.

A 66% 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.
