Sweden vs Romania Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.11 expected goals for Sweden and 0.99 for Romania, a combined total of 3.10. That distribution gives Sweden the largest share of the 1X2 market at 63%, with the draw at 20%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 60% for over 2.5 goals and 55% for both teams to score, with 2–0 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 63% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Sweden win, at 63.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 55% and over 2.5 goals at 60%.
A 63% 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.
