Betting Predictions
- Defensive Trends: The odds for both teams not to score in the first half (97.60) and away team not to score in the first half (98.30) highlight a likely defensive start. This aligns with the prediction for under 4.5 cards (97.70), suggesting disciplined play.
- Second Half Dynamics: The match may open up in the second half, as indicated by the odds for away team to score in the second half (74.50) and home team to score in the second half (74.10). This shift could be pivotal, especially given the relatively lower odds for both teams not to score in the second half (85.90).
- Total Goals: With an average of 1.88 total goals and under 2.5 goals at 76.70, betting on fewer goals seems prudent. However, the over 1.5 goals market at 60.40 suggests that at least one goal is likely.
- Cards and Discipline: The expectation of under 5.5 cards (98.50) and an average of 1.23 yellow cards indicates a controlled match with minimal disciplinary issues.
- Goals Conceded: Cardiff City’s average conceded goals of 0.98 points towards a strong defensive setup, potentially limiting Wigan Athletic’s scoring opportunities.
