Poland vs Albania Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.30 expected goals for Poland and 0.78 for Albania, a combined total of 2.07. That distribution gives Poland the largest share of the 1X2 market at 49%, with the draw at 29%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 34% for over 2.5 goals and 39% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 16%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 49% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Poland win, at 49.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 39% and over 2.5 goals at 34%.

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.
