Real Sociedad vs Bournemouth Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.35 expected goals for Real Sociedad and 1.42 for Bournemouth, a combined total of 2.77. That distribution gives Bournemouth the largest share of the 1X2 market at 39%, with the draw at 25%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 52% for over 2.5 goals and 56% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 39% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 64.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 56% and over 2.5 goals at 52%.

A 64% 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.
