Preview
Fiji host New Caledonia in a friendly on Wednesday, September 30 at 3:00 a.m. ET. Goalorithm's model makes a Fiji win the likeliest outcome, but the three-way forecast also gives substantial space to a draw and a New Caledonia win.
What the model expects
The probabilities are estimates. The model gives Fiji 38.3%, a draw 28.6% and New Caledonia 33.1%; its ordering is a Fiji win (38.3%), then a New Caledonia win (33.1%), then a draw (28.6%). That makes a Fiji win the model's likeliest result, without placing either alternative far outside the forecast. The expected-goals figures are Fiji 1.1 and New Caledonia 0.9.
The goals outlook is under 2.5 goals at 67%, against over 2.5 goals at 33%. The model gives both teams scoring a 40.2% chance, while the chance that at least one side fails to score is 59.8%. The likeliest exact score is 0-0 at 17.8%; the other leading scorelines are 1-0 at 13.1% and 1-1 at 12.2%. The score predictions point to a close contest, with a goalless draw among the outcomes the model identifies.
