Scotland vs Denmark Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.38 expected goals for Scotland and 2.33 for Denmark, a combined total of 3.70. That distribution gives Denmark the largest share of the 1X2 market at 59%, with the draw at 20%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 71% for over 2.5 goals and 67% for both teams to score, with 1–2 the single most likely scoreline at 9%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 59% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Denmark win, at 58.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–2.
It puts both teams scoring at 67% and over 2.5 goals at 71%.
A 59% 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.
