Under 2.5 Goals
The odds for under 2.5 goals standing at 98.80% highlight the expectation of a low-scoring match. Both teams have shown defensive resilience in recent matches, and their tactical approaches suggest a focus on maintaining a solid backline. Rayo Vallecano’s average conceded goals of 1.18 and Deportivo Alaves’ average goals scored of 1.48 further reinforce this prediction.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half
With odds at 98.30%, the likelihood of neither team scoring in the first half is significant. This could be attributed to both teams adopting cautious strategies early in the game, focusing on building up play and avoiding early risks.
Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half
The odds of 98.50% for Deportivo Alaves not scoring in the first half suggest that Rayo Vallecano will likely have a stronger defensive performance initially. This could be due to their home advantage and familiarity with the pitch, allowing them to effectively neutralize Alaves’ attacking threats early on.
Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half
Similarly, the odds for Rayo Vallecano not scoring in the first half are also high at 98.80%. This indicates that both teams are expected to engage in a defensive standoff during the initial period, with neither side breaking the deadlock early.
First Goal 30+ Minutes
The odds of 87.60% for the first goal being scored after the 30th minute suggest that both teams will likely settle into their game plans before any breakthroughs occur. This aligns with the overall expectation of a cautious start, with tactical adjustments made as the match progresses.
Over 4.5 Cards
With odds at 82.90%, there is a high expectation of disciplinary issues arising during the match. Both teams have shown tendencies towards physical play, which could lead to several bookings and potentially even red cards.
Last Goal Minute 0-72
The odds of 84.10% for the last goal being scored within the first 72 minutes indicate that most of the action is expected to occur in the opening two-thirds of the match. This could be due to fatigue setting in during the latter stages, reducing the likelihood of late goals.
Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half
The odds of 68.50% for neither team scoring in the second half suggest that if there are goals, they are more likely to occur in the first half or early in the second half, rather than in the closing stages of the match.
Home Team To Score In 2nd Half
With odds at 64.90%, Rayo Vallecano is expected to find their scoring rhythm in the second half if they haven’t done so already. This could be due to adjustments made by their coach during halftime or increased pressure from home fans.
Both Teams Not to Score
The odds of 62.00% for a goalless draw reflect the defensive nature anticipated in this match. Both teams are likely to prioritize securing points over taking unnecessary risks, leading to a potentially stalemate outcome.
Under 5.5 Cards
