Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 81.00%

The exceptionally high probability (81%) that both teams will not find the net in the second half suggests a strong defensive setup as the match progresses. Historically, both sides tend to close out games with caution, often favoring structure over openness following halftime adjustments. The likely scenario is a second half where, if one team leads, they focus more on protecting their advantage than increasing it.

Over 0.5 Goals in First Half: 81.00%

With 81% confidence for at least one goal before halftime, this match is predicted to see early action—potentially due to tactical intent from Azam FC, who have shown pronounced attacking intent at home. This aligns with their average scoring dynamic and may also imply Dodoma Jiji’s vulnerability when playing away in opening periods.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 73.00%

There is a notable consensus (73%) against both teams scoring in the first half, indicating one side—most likely Azam FC—will dominate initial proceedings. This is reinforced by Azam’s superior offensive record and Dodoma Jiji’s generally conservative approach, especially on the road.

Over 1.5 Total Goals: 73.00%

A 73% likelihood for more than 1.5 total goals underlines the expectation for at least a moderate scoring game. Given Azam’s attacking propensity at home and Dodoma Jiji’s capacity to concede, the match is unlikely to be goalless or end with a single goal, but an outright goalfest is not favored either.

Home Team To Score In 2nd Half: 69.00%

The odds suggest that Azam FC are highly likely (69%) to find the net in the latter period, supported by their record of sustained pressure and offensive consistency at home. This bodes well for bettors expecting a decisive action from the home side after the break.

Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 69.00%

With a solid probability (69%) assigned to Dodoma Jiji failing to score in the second half, expectations are that Azam FC’s defense will hold strong, especially as they consolidate any advantage. Dodoma Jiji’s attacking struggles away from home further reinforce this prospect.

Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 62.00%

Azam FC’s chance (62%) of netting in the first half, combined with their overall scoring profile, point towards an early breakthrough. This could influence the game flow in their favor and force Dodoma Jiji into a less comfortable, more open approach.

Home Team To Win: 62.00%

Azam FC are clear favorites to secure victory (62%) on home ground, relying on superior form, offensive firepower, and disciplined defense. The home crowd and familiar surface could further tip the scales, especially given Dodoma Jiji’s inconsistent away performances.
