Goal Markets Analysis
- Over/Under 0.5 Goals (First Half): There is a strong likelihood (73%) for at least one goal to be scored in the first half, indicating early action and potential vulnerability in either defense.
- Over/Under 1.5 Goals (Full Match): The probability (72%) reinforces expectations for a match that stretches beyond one goal, in line with the statistical averages.
- Over/Under 2.5 Goals: The 51% probability suggests market balance, with the over being only marginally more likely than the under, matching the overall modest scoring rates.
Team Scoring Segments
- Both Teams To Score (BTTS): There is a split probability on BTTS for the full match (51%), but a high chance of either the first half (73%) or second half (79%) concluding with only one team finding the net. This reflects the teams’ struggles for consistent offensive output.

Expert Prediction & Insights
- Expect a tactically cautious start, with the first goal (should it happen) likely arriving before halftime.
- There is a high chance that at least one team fails to score in each half, supporting ‘Both Teams Not to Score’ selections for each segment.
- While the over 2.5 goals is narrowly favored, the core value lies in backing unders or single-team scoring markets, particularly Diyala SC’s inconsistency in attack.
- Look for Arbil to assert control in the second half, raising the probability of them scoring after the interval.
- In-play bettors should watch for odds on under 2.5 goals to shorten if no early goals materialize, with alternative value in live “no goal” or “one-team to score” props for each half.
