Market by Market Insights
Goals Markets
- Over 1.5 Goals (76%): Very likely, supported by the teams’ average combined goals (2.73). The offensive capacity should cover this comfortably.
- Over 2.5 Goals (56%): A fair possibility, but not overwhelming. Slightly over half of similar matches surpass this line.
- Sum of Goals 2 or 3 (53%): Reflecting the league and team averages, bettors can expect this commonly occurring goal range.
- Over 0.5 Goals HT (68%): Early goals are expected, making this a strong option for first-half goal markets.
- First Goal Between Minute 0-29 (53%): Indicates a good chance of early action; fast starts often set the pace in matches between these sides.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Markets
- Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half (76%): A strong expectation that at least one side will keep a clean sheet during the opening 45 minutes, often due to cautious starts.
- Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half (65%): The tendency for defensive solidity or fading attacking efficiency after halftime is also high.
- Both Teams To Score (53%): While possible, the probability is only slightly above even, suggesting that a shutout for one team is nearly as likely as BTTS.
Team-Specific Scoring Trends
- Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half (59%): Real Sociedad could struggle to break down Celta initially, aligning with their modest scoring average.
- Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half (59%): Whether due to fatigue or defensive adaptation, the home side may find goals hard to come by late on.
- Away Team To Score In 2nd Half (71%): Celta de Vigo have a strong probability of registering a second-half goal, particularly if the match is finely poised and spaces open up.
- Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half (53%): Celta may adopt a measured approach early, making a goalless first half for them plausible.
Timing of Goals
- Last Goal 73+ Minutes (56%): Late drama is moderately likely, with over half of matches featuring action in the closing stages.
- Goal In Last 15 Minutes (53%): End-of-game risk-taking and substitutions frequently yield late strikes.
Cards and Discipline
- Under 5.5 Cards (62%): Matches remain relatively clean, with most games falling below the six-card threshold.
- Over 4.5 Cards (56%): There’s still a solid chance of seeing at least five cards, so markets between 4.5–5.5 cards are especially interesting for punters.
- Yellow Cards (2.23) / Red Cards (0.06): The match is expected to remain controlled and disciplined, with only rare dismissals.
Additional Expert Predictions
- Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 or 2-1 for Real Sociedad – Both teams are capable of scoring, but defenses should keep the total moderate.
- First Goalscorer: Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), as he often finds early opportunities and Celta have a tendency to concede before halftime.
- Most Likely Period for Game-Defining Action: 60–75 minutes – As both sides open up, substitutions and tired legs could decide the outcome in this window.
- Value Bet: Draw at halftime, Real Sociedad to win full time – Aligns with trends of low-scoring first halves and home advantage asserting itself later.
