Pre-match Outlook

Goalence's Pi-Ratings model gives Norway a clear edge against Iraq in World Cup — 70% confidence (ELITE tier) with an expected scoreline of 0-2.

Both teams are projected to score (56% BTTS yes), suggesting an open contest where neither defense fully shuts down the opponent.

How the Model Works

We use an iterative Pi-Ratings model: each team has separate home and away attack/defense ratings, updated after every match. Lambda values are converted to outcome probabilities via Poisson distribution. Match result, over/under, and BTTS predictions are all derived from a single coherent model.

Iraq vs NorwayNorway Away Win: 70%.
