Addtional Predictions and Insights
The average total goals suggest a slightly more open game than the no-score predictions imply, with an expected average of around two goals per match. The lower average of conceded goals indicates a strong defensive performance from one or both teams throughout the match.
The high probability of over four and a half cards (73.90) points to a potentially aggressive match with frequent bookings, while the likelihood of over five and a half cards (57.50) suggests even more disciplinary actions could occur.
In terms of scoring, over one and a half goals is favored (65.30), hinting that while the match may not be high-scoring overall, there is still an expectation for some goals to be netted.
The odds for under two and a half goals (66.60) align with these predictions, reinforcing the expectation of a match that may not feature a lot of goals but could see some crucial ones.
The likelihood of yellow cards being issued is high (2.91), which could influence the flow and intensity of the game as players may be more cautious to avoid suspensions.
In summary, while the match may not be goal-heavy, it is expected to be tactical and disciplined, with potential for key moments that could decide the outcome.
