Rwanda vs Benin Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 0.77 expected goals for Rwanda and 0.90 for Benin, a combined total of 1.67. That distribution gives Benin the largest share of the 1X2 market at 37%, with the draw at 34%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 24% for over 2.5 goals and 32% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 19%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 37% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 70.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 32% and over 2.5 goals at 24%.
A 71% 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.
