Our pick: Bookmakers offer average 1.70 (implied 58.8%) for Both Teams to Score. Our experts calculate a 61.3% probability (an expert ratio of 1.63). We chose this bet because our experts rate it more likely than the bookmaker price implies (61.3% vs 58.8%), driven by both attacks scoring freely while both defences look leaky.

Match Preview

The model favours HNK Hajduk Split to win with a projected scoreline of 2-1. Hajduk Split has shown impressive form recently, winning four of their last five matches, which highlights their strong attacking capabilities and resilience. This consistent performance positions them well in this matchup, suggesting they have the momentum needed to advance in the tournament. On the other hand, Pafos has had a mixed bag of results, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five matches. This inconsistency could be a concern as they face a team in better form. Pafos will need to significantly improve their performance to challenge Hajduk Split effectively. The model indicates a win probability favouring Hajduk Split at around 65%, with a projected score of 2-1. However, a potential caveat is Pafos's home advantage, which could play a crucial role in the match dynamics. For a detailed understanding of the prediction, please refer to the "How We Reached This Prediction" section.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
