What is the most likely score in Coventry City v Fulham?

0–1, which comes up in 17.2% of simulations. No single scoreline is ever very likely: the distribution is spread across many results, which is why the full matrix matters more than the top line.

The model puts the game above 2.5 goals 32% of the time, and above 1.5 goals 61% of the time. Expected goals are 0.63 for Coventry City and 1.37 for Fulham.

Will both teams score in Coventry City v Fulham?

Both teams score in 36% of simulations. Coventry City keep a clean sheet or Fulham fail to score in the remaining 64%.

How are these probabilities calculated?

A Dixon-Coles model estimates an attacking and a defensive strength for every club from past results, with time decay so recent matches weigh more. Those strengths give the expected goals for each side, from which the full score matrix and every market on this page are derived. It is recalculated nightly and does not read line-ups, injuries or transfers.

All these figures come from a single scoreline matrix, computed on Sunday, September 27. They therefore cannot contradict one another: “over 2.5 goals” and “exact score” are two readings of the same object.
