Over 0.5 Goals HT: 77.00

The probability of at least one goal being scored in the first half is high. Both Augsburg and Holstein Kiel have shown an ability to press early, thus a first-half goal is likely and could set the tempo for open attacking play. Bettors should consider early goals as part of their predictions given the teams’ intent to start strongly.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 77.00

Despite the potential for a goal in the first half, it’s also quite probable that only one team will find the net before halftime, reflecting some limitations in finishing quality and tactical caution. This bet targets the scenario where early attacking opportunities may not translate to goals for both sides by the break.

Over 1.5 Goals: 73.00

With the average goals per match nearing 3, surpassing the 1.5 total goals mark is very realistic in this fixture. Both offensive and defensive records suggest an open game, with multiple scoring opportunities likely to manifest as the match progresses.

Away Team To Score In 2nd Half: 73.00

Holstein Kiel’s attacking approach in later stages is a notable trend, reflecting their capability to break down Augsburg’s defense after halftime. This outcome is highly probable, especially if the scoreline requires the visitor to chase the game.

Both Teams To Score: 70.00

Given their tendency to concede (avg. conceded goals at 1.67) and score (avg. goals at 1.27), both teams finding the net at some point looks likely. Expect phases of open play and defensive lapses benefitting both sides in attack.

Under 5.5 Cards: 67.00

With under 3 cards per game on average, a match with fewer than 6 cards appears very likely. Both teams have disciplined approaches and rarely get drawn into frequent yellow or red card scenarios, supporting this prediction.

Over 2.5 Goals / Over 2.5 Goals & BTTS: 63.00

The likelihood of at least three goals in the match is substantiated by their combined defensive statistics. If both teams score as expected, the chances for over 2.5 goals are further elevated, making either bet a strong candidate for value.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 60.00

A scenario where Augsburg is denied in the second half could unfold due to potential adjustments by the visiting defense or a shift towards game management. While not the most likely scenario, it aligns with occasional trends of decreased home offensive output after the break.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 57.00

This market reflects the possibility of tactical changes and defensive focus after the interval, especially if one side is protecting a lead. It’s plausible that only one team (or neither) finds the net in the last 45 minutes.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half / Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 53.00

An early stalemate or a slow attacking start is possible, with both teams potentially cautious right out of the gate. Either team being shut out in the first half aligns with their sporadic first-half offensive effectiveness.
