Völsungur vs IR Reykjavik Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.92 expected goals for Völsungur and 1.82 for IR Reykjavik, a combined total of 3.74.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 72% for over 2.5 goals and 72% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 8%.

    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 62.8%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

    It puts both teams scoring at 72% and over 2.5 goals at 72%.

    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.
