The data suggests a cautious approach by both teams, with a high likelihood of minimal scoring in the early and latter stages of the match. Despite this, there is still a strong chance for over 1.5 goals being scored (85.20), indicating that at least one goal is likely to break the deadlock. The odds for under 2.5 goals (66.90) and the sum of goals being either 2 or 3 (62.90) further support the expectation of a tightly contested game with limited but impactful goals.
Average total goals are projected at 2.85, with each team expected to score around 1.75 goals on average, while conceding approximately 2.10 goals each. This balance suggests that while defenses will be tested, opportunities for scoring are anticipated throughout the match.
