Betting Segments Breakdown & Insights

1. Both Teams To Score (BTTS)

• General BTTS: Probability sits at 58%. This medium confidence figure suggests that, while both sides possess the ability to score, the likelihood is slightly above average—mainly influenced by Maccabi Haifa’s offensive strength and the visitors’ defensive lapses.
• BTTS in the 1st Half: Exceptionally low at 1%. An extremely cautious prediction, indicating that starting periods are often cagey, lacking in clear-cut opportunities.
• BTTS in the 2nd Half: Also at 1%, underlining the expectation of at least one clean half in terms of scoring. Combined, this makes a full BTTS in either half very unlikely.

2. Total Goals Markets

• Over 1.5 Goals: 75%. High probability points to a match that should see at least two goals scored—consistent with both teams’ season averages and offensive profiles.
• Over 2.5 Goals: Also at 75%. Expert analysis aligns with the expected total goals (3.25), favoring an open contest with consistent goal threats.
• Over 2.5 Goals & BTTS: 58%. The market ties the high-scoring expectation directly to both teams finding the net, though this is slightly less probable than the simple over 2.5 goals market due to the visitor’s occasional offensive struggles.

3. Match Result (1X2 Market)

• Home Team To Win: 75%. Maccabi Haifa U19 enter the fixture as clear favorites, fueled by superior offensive output and defensive steadiness, especially when compared to the away side’s inconsistencies.

Expert Additional Predictions

• 1st Half Draw: Likely, considering the exceptionally low BTTS odds for the opening half and defensive priorities early in the match.
• Under 0.5 Goals in First Half: Strong possibility—mirrored by the ‘both not to score in 1st half’ at 99%.
• Exact Score Range: Most probable ranges are 2-1 or 3-0 in favor of Maccabi Haifa U19, aligning with seasonal averages and market indicators.
• Live Betting Note: Watch for tempo shifts after halftime; goals are more likely in the final 45 minutes if the hosts are not in front.
