Low Scoring Predictions
Fixtures ranked by lowest predicted expected total goals — Friday 8 May 2026
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.
Twelve fixtures cleared the bar on Friday 8 May 2026. The strongest reading belongs to Monza vs Empoli at 2.46 in the Serie B. The shortlist runs from 2.46 down to 1.73, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.
Serie B supplies four of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
Of the twelve fixtures on this list that have since finished, six 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.

Low Scoring settles on whether a match is expected to stay tight, typically under 2.5 goals. It is one of the most commonly offered football markets and is priced by every major bookmaker.
How does Fixture360 calculate low scoring probability?
Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline. The combined expected goals shown here is the sum of both teams' expected goals, ranked ascending so the tightest games surface first. No bookmaker odds are used as an input — the model is independent of the market.
