The likeliest exact scorelines are 0-0 at 25.1%, 1-0 at 21.4%, 1-1 at 12.3%. No single scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of football — but the shape of the distribution is what the selections below are drawn from.

- Over 2.5 Goals: Over 2.5 — 50.6% confidence. Expected total goals 2.92, from 1.56 - 1.36 (Serie A baseline 1.36 per side).

Score Prediction & Verdict
Prediction: 1-0 — a Inter Milan win, and the likeliest scoreline within that result at 21.4%.
Confidence: Low. The model puts a Inter Milan win at 44.9%, with the draw at 38.7%.
Worth being straight about: across every scoreline the model considers, the single most likely one is 0-0 at 25.1%. A favourite of this size does not make any one scoreline probable — it shifts where the weight of the distribution sits.
The call rests on the scoring rates above holding up. It is wrong if this becomes an open game the goals numbers do not expect, and on a fixture priced this close that is a live possibility.
