Predictions
The match is likely to be low-scoring, given the average total goals per game is only slightly over three (3.09). The odds for under 2.5 goals (59.50) suggest that punters are expecting fewer than three goals to be scored during this encounter, aligning with historical data where both teams typically exhibit strong defensive performances early on.
The likelihood of red cards being issued stands at an average of one per game (1.08), indicating that while discipline might occasionally falter under pressure, it is not expected to be a major issue in this match.
The prediction leans towards a cautious game with minimal early scoring, potentially breaking open in the latter stages as indicated by the odds for an away team goal in the second half (60.50) and over 0.5 goals by halftime (61.10). Given these factors, bettors might find value in wagering on lower-scoring outcomes while keeping an eye on late-game developments.
