Predictions and Insights

Given the statistics, it’s prudent to expect a cautious approach from both teams, especially in the second half, where the likelihood of neither team scoring is notably high at 91.70%. The probability of both teams not scoring in the first half is also significant at 78.60%, suggesting a strategic focus on defense over offense initially. The prediction of an average of only two yellow cards per match (2.24) and fewer than one red card (0.36) indicates disciplined play, further supporting the expectation of a low-scoring game. The first goal is most likely to occur early in the match, with a strong chance (57.80%) it will happen within the first 29 minutes, potentially setting the tone for the rest of the game. Despite these defensive tendencies, there remains a moderate chance (73%) that more than one and a half goals will be scored throughout the match, hinting at occasional lapses in concentration or opportunistic plays that could break the deadlock. Overall, bettors should consider focusing on bets related to low scoring and discipline-based outcomes given the statistical insights.
