Low Scoring Predictions
Fixtures ranked by lowest predicted expected total goals — Friday 20 December 2024
Our prediction model identifies fixtures where both teams have historically weak attack or strong defence. Fixtures at the top of this list have the lowest combined expected goals (xG) — making them the best candidates for Under 2.5 goals and low-scoring correct score markets.
The model shortlists six fixtures on Friday 20 December 2024. Cambridge United vs Huddersfield led the list at 2.43 in the League One.
The shortlist spans six different competitions, a broad spread rather than one division dominating.
Of the six fixtures on this list that have since finished, three landed the low scoring market — 50%. This is a single day's sample and swings heavily; the rolling record across all fixtures is on the model accuracy page.
