- Both Teams Not to Score (60.90): With odds of 60.90, this bet seems less favorable given the expected high-scoring nature of the game. However, if either team opts for a more cautious approach or if defensive errors are minimized, it could result in a low-scoring affair.
- Under 2.5 Goals (64.30): This market suggests that while goals are expected, they may not come in abundance. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defense, which could lead to opportunities but also counter-attacks that prevent excessive scoring.
