Prediction Analysis

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 98.40

Given the high probability of neither team scoring in the second half, it’s likely that the match will be decided by events occurring in the first half or through set-pieces and late-game tactics. This suggests a strategy where teams may adopt a more conservative approach as the game progresses.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 98.30

The near certainty of no goals in the first half indicates that both teams might focus on building their defensive structures early on. This could lead to a cautious start with teams looking to exploit any early weaknesses once the second half commences.

Over 1.5 Goals: 78.10

With a decent probability of more than 1.5 goals being scored, there is room for optimism among those betting on at least one goal being netted. This suggests that while defenses will be strong, there will be enough attacking play to break through at least once.

Over 2.5 Goals: 77.20

Over 3.5 Goals: 72.80

The probability of over 3.5 goals suggests that if one team manages to gain an early advantage, they might push forward aggressively, leading to a more open and high-scoring game.
