AwayThe model projects 2.32 xG for Iraq and 0.65 xG for Indonesia. Indonesia's projected xG of 0.65 is not sufficient to make scoring a reliable expectation — the model does not see them generating enough high-quality chances to break through.The projected 2-0 scoreline features a clean sheet for one side. The xG distribution suggests Iraq will score, but Indonesia's attacking output falls below the threshold the model requires to project both teams scoring.Iraq's defensive record — 2 clean sheets in 10 matches — combined with Indonesia's limited attacking output (5 clean sheets conceded in 10 games) supports the model's projection of at least one side keeping a clean sheet.
The model projects a combined xG of 2.98 — elevated attacking volume. A combined xG below 2.5 is the model's primary signal that the match is unlikely to produce more than two goals, and this fixture falls below that threshold.The projected 2-0 scoreline stays under the 2.5-goal mark. The probability grid is dominated by scorelines of two goals or fewer, with the over 2.5 market requiring a result that sits outside the model's most likely outcomes.The defensive profiles of both sides are stronger than their attacking counterparts — Iraq's Defensive Stability (27) and Indonesia's (91) both suggest teams capable of limiting the opposition. When both defences are this organised, the model expects a lower-scoring environment.
Probability breakdown
Iraq leads with 64% — the model's highest-probability outcome for this fixture.
Iraq Backed to Win — Model Projects 2-0

Key factors
Why GoalVio backs this
Iraq are generating a dominant xG advantage — 2.32 projected against 0.65 for Indonesia. xG measures the quality of chances created, not just shots. A gap of 1.67 is the clearest signal in the model that Iraq are the materially more dangerous side in this fixture.
Biggest risk: Indonesia have won 4 of their last 10 matches — a run of form the model acknowledges but cannot fully override. If Indonesia carry that momentum into this fixture and score first, the upset probability rises significantly above what the headline verdict suggests.
Risk factors
- ⚠Indonesia are in decent form with 4 wins from their last 10 matches — an upset cannot be ruled out.
- ⚠Iraq have been conceding 2.49 goals per game — their defence could be exposed.
- ⚠Live conditions — weather, team news, and in-game momentum — can always override statistical projections.
