Al Karma SC vs Al Shorta

Overall Expert Overview

The clash between Al Karma SC and Al Shorta on May 13, 2025, is set to be a tightly contested fixture dominated by disciplined defensive structures. Both teams display a strong propensity to limit scoring opportunities, as indicated by the low average total goals (1.65), an even lower average goals scored (1.23), and an impressive average of just 0.42 goals conceded per game. An array of predictions centering on few goals and clean sheets reinforces the expectation that the match will feature cautious tactics, high defensive focus, and potentially low entertainment value from an attacking perspective.

Both Teams Not To Score Markets

Expert analysis highlights a particularly robust probability that both sides will fail to score in several phases of the match: a striking 94.00 for the 1st half, 87.00 for the 2nd half, and 81.00 across the full match. Combined with the low goals conceded rate, these predictions clarify that either one or both defenses are expected to completely shut out the opposition attackers for long stretches, if not for the entire game. Such high levels in these markets strongly suggest that a goalless half – or perhaps even a goalless draw – remains a plausible outcome.

Home and Away Team Scoring Trends

The likelihood of the home team failing to score in the 1st half is measured at 81.00, while failure to net in the 2nd half is 56.00. This underlines the expectation that Al Karma SC may struggle offensively against an organized Al Shorta defense, particularly in the opening 45 minutes. Conversely, Al Shorta have a 57.00 chance to score in the 1st half, indicating that, if any breakthrough occurs, it is more probable to come from the visitors during the first period.

Low Scoring Outcomes

The under 2.5 goals prediction at 80.00, under 1.5 goals at 53.00, and under 0.5 goals in the first half at 55.00 all underscore a match forecast characterized by minimal scoring. The sum of goals under 2 (53.00) further cements the narrative of a tightly controlled midfield battle with few clear-cut chances, possibly influenced by the high stakes or both teams’ desire to avoid defeat.

Other Match Result Probabilities

A draw in the first half (58.00) is consistent with the expectation of a cagey start, while an away team win (52.00) points slightly toward Al Shorta having the edge if a result materializes. The away team’s superior chance to score in the opening half and overall defensive solidity may prove decisive should either side manage to find a breakthrough.

Additional Expert Predictions

• Expect tactical discipline and physical contests in midfield, with both teams focusing on structure over attacking risk.
• Al Shorta are marginal favorites due to their slightly higher propensity to score and away resilience but should not be expected to win by a comfortable margin.
• Set pieces may provide the likeliest avenue for either side to break the deadlock given open-play opportunities are projected to be rare.
• Strong potential for under 2.5 and under 1.5 goal totals; a 0-0 or 1-0/0-1 full time result aligns with the data.
• First half may see especially limited chances, and the deadlock could persist deep into the match unless a defensive lapse occurs.
