Portugal vs Denmark Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.78 expected goals for Portugal and 1.20 for Denmark, a combined total of 2.97.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 57% for over 2.5 goals and 58% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 11%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Portugal win, at 50.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 58% and over 2.5 goals at 57%.
A 51% 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.
