Preview
Uzbekistan meet Syria in a friendly on Thursday, October 1, with kick-off at 10:00 a.m. ET. Goalorithm's model makes Uzbekistan the likeliest winner, while the recent results provide contrasting context for the fixture.
Uzbekistan come into the game after a 3-1 home win against Iran on September 24. Syria's most recent result was a 1-1 away draw with Jordan on September 27. The teams' latest meeting finished goalless, but the model's scoring forecast points to a different kind of contest.
What the model expects
The probabilities are estimates. The model's outcomes from likeliest down are a Uzbekistan win (67.2%), then a draw (20.3%), then a Syria win (12.5%). Its likeliest result is a Uzbekistan win, and its lean is Uzbekistan to win.
The goals forecast is over 2.5 goals at 78%, against under 2.5 goals at 22%. The model gives both teams a chance of scoring at 64.8%; its figure for at least one side failing to score is 35.2%.
Expected goals are 3 for Uzbekistan and 1.1 for Syria. The likeliest scorelines are 2-0 (7.7%), 2-1 (7.2%) and 3-0 (7.2%). The broad forecast favours Uzbekistan, while those scorelines offer several possible ways that expectation could take shape.
