Prediction Analysis
Given the average total goals of 2.93 and average conceded goals of 1.95, there is a moderate expectation for goals being scored throughout the match. However, the probabilities for over 1.5 goals (74.70%) and over 2.5 goals (61.70%) indicate that while some scoring is expected, it may not be abundant. The likelihood of both teams not scoring in either half remains significant, with both teams not scoring in the second half at 72.20% and the away team not scoring in the second half at 75.90%. This suggests that defensive strategies will play a crucial role in determining the match’s outcome.
Card Predictions
The match is anticipated to be disciplined, with an average of 2.10 yellow cards and only 0.23 red cards expected. This aligns with the low-scoring predictions and suggests that players might focus on maintaining control rather than taking risks that could lead to penalties or bookings.
Goals and Scoring
With an average of 0.78 goals scored per team, it appears that both West Ham United and Newcastle United may struggle to find the back of the net frequently during this encounter. The home team’s chances of not scoring in either half are also significant, with a 73.80% probability in the first half and a 72.30% probability in the second half, reinforcing the expectation of a defensive battle.
