Betting Insights

Goals Prediction

The over 1.5 goals market is priced at 91.00, suggesting a strong likelihood of more than one goal being scored. The over 0.5 goals half-time (HT) has an attractive price of 60.50, implying that there could be scoring activity early on. The expectation of over 2.5 goals stands at 64.10, indicating a potential for a high-octane game, especially with both teams averaging over two goals per match in their recent competitions.

Score Distribution

A bet on a total of 2 or 3 goals is available at 53.20, reflecting a balance between under and over goals betting markets, with an average of 3.27 total goals expected. This could be a strategic bet for those predicting a busy scoreboard but not an excessive number of goals.

Halftime and Second Half Analysis

Insights into scoring by half reveal that both teams are unlikely to score in the first half, with odds of 70.90, while the likelihood of either team starting slowly is suggested by odds of 67.50 for the home team and 68.50 for the away team not to score in the first half.

Conversely, the away team scoring in the second half is seen as quite probable, priced at 75.60. The odds indicate potential changes in momentum during the game, perhaps favoring the away side as the match progresses.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS)

The paired betting market for both teams to score stands at 69.70, while the over 2.5 BTTS is priced at 56.20, suggesting a favorable outlook for multiple goals from both sides across the match.

Defensive Insights

Defensive sturdiness in different halves is highlighted by odds for both teams not to score in different phases of the game: first half (70.90) and second half (55.70), hinting at the possibility of one or both teams containing their opponents at different stages.

Another strategic consideration is the low expectation for the home team not to score in the second half (54.70) or for both teams not to score in the second half (55.70), suggesting defensive vulnerability as fatigue sets in.

Expert Predictions

Based on the statistical data and historical performance, several key insights emerge for potential bettors:

  • Over 2.5 Goals: Given both teams’ goal-scoring averages and the moderate price of 64.10, this outcome is anticipated to be highly probable.
  • Away Team Scoring in 2nd Half: With a favorable price of 75.60, expecting the away team to capitalize in the latter part of the match is reasonable.
  • Both Teams to Score: The relatively high probability (69.70) emphasizes the likelihood of offensive contributions from both sides.
  • Goals Scored – Over 0.5 Goals HT: The early goal trend supports betting on scoring before halftime, indicated by a considerable probability at 60.50.
