Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half – Prediction: 91.00
This market is strongly supported by the data. Both teams have shown a tendency towards defensive solidity post-interval, and tactical adjustments at halftime often see tighter lines and controlled midfield play. Expect at least one team to maintain a clean sheet during the second half, possibly protecting a slender lead.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half – Prediction: 78.00
The likelihood of just one or neither side finding the net in the opening 45 minutes is high. Both teams often prioritize defensive caution early on, mitigating the risk of conceding premature goals. Casa Pia and Braga have frequently utilized the first half to gauge opponents, which could suppress scoring chances before the break.
Over 0.5 Goals HT – Prediction: 69.00
Statistical indicators lean toward at least a single first-half goal, possibly emerging from set pieces or transitional play. Both teams possess midfielders adept at creating quick opportunities, though the balance remains with cautious play at kickoff.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half – Prediction: 69.00
Casa Pia’s home scoring rate in initial periods is reflected in this solid prediction. They often approach games with attacking impetus in front of a home crowd, seeking to capitalize on early pressure or defensive lapses from visitors.
Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half – Prediction: 69.00
Casa Pia have struggled for late-game goals, particularly against well-organized opposition like Braga. Their tendency to lose attacking sharpness in the latter stages could lead to a barren second half from the hosts.
Over 4.5 Cards – Prediction: 69.00
With both teams fighting for vital points, tempers and tactical fouling are likely to result in a high card count. The numbers suggest over 4.5 cards is a strong possibility, with the match likely featuring numerous contentious challenges and midfield battles.
Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half – Prediction: 69.00
Sporting Braga have sometimes started slowly in away fixtures, struggling to break down disciplined hosts. Casa Pia’s organization and pressing intensity in the opening half make it likely Braga will be held scoreless before the interval.
Over 1.5 Goals – Prediction: 66.00
The probability of two or more goals in the match is strong, based on the attacking transitions both sides are capable of, particularly in response to falling behind. Late goals, especially as teams push for decisive results, could drive this outcome.
Under 2.5 Goals – Prediction: 63.00
Given the average goals scored (1.28) and conceded (0.84) per team, as well as the overall conservative trend in their matches, expect a low-scoring affair, likely to finish with two or fewer total goals unless an early goal opens up play dramatically.
Away Team To Score In 2nd Half – Prediction: 63.00
Braga have developed a reputation for tactical adaptability after halftime. Their ability to exploit tiring defenses means they’re likely to find openings late, especially if chasing a result.
Both Teams To Score – Prediction: 53.00
The possibility of both teams making the scoresheet is moderate. While both have players capable of creating moments of quality, their defensive discipline means a clean sheet on either side remains likely. However, a 1-1 scoreline remains in play if the tactical deadlock is broken.
Additional Expert Predictions
- Total Yellow Cards Likely High: Given the average of 2.56 yellow cards per game, expect tempers to flare and fouls to be tactical, further boosting the likelihood of multiple cards being shown.
- Red Card Unlikely: With both teams averaging only 0.07 red cards per match, a sending-off would be an outlier but not a complete surprise in a tense contest.
- First Half Decisive: The first 45 minutes may determine the pattern of the game, with a notable emphasis on scoring early for Casa Pia and tactical discipline from Sporting Braga.
- Draw a Strong Outcome: Considering both teams’ defensive discipline and low average goals per game, a draw—especially a 0-0 or 1-1—remains highly plausible.
