Yemen vs Qatar Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.28 expected goals for Yemen and 0.87 for Qatar, a combined total of 3.15. That distribution gives Yemen the largest share of the 1X2 market at 69%, with the draw at 18%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 61% for over 2.5 goals and 52% for both teams to score, with 2–0 the single most likely scoreline at 11%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 69% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Head-to-head

Head-to-head history is temporarily unavailable. The prediction is unaffected — it is built from current form, home and away performance, goals data and competition statistics.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Yemen win, at 69.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 52% and over 2.5 goals at 61%.

A 69% 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.
