Wales vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.15 expected goals for Wales and 2.10 for Bosnia & Herzegovina, a combined total of 4.25. That distribution gives Wales the largest share of the 1X2 market at 41%, with the draw at 20%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 80% for over 2.5 goals and 78% for both teams to score, with 2–2 the single most likely scoreline at 7%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 41% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 60.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–2.

It puts both teams scoring at 78% and over 2.5 goals at 80%.

A 61% 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.
