Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 99.00
An extremely high confidence is placed on Mynavi Sendai Ladies not scoring in the first half. This could point to several factors: solid defensive starts from Cerezo Osaka Sakai, weak away offensive performance from Sendai, or historically slow starts in matches involving these teams. Bettors considering this market can strongly weigh this statistic, although such high probabilities are rare and may reflect either an overwhelming data pattern or underlying news about squad strength.
Over 1.5 Goals: 78.00
With an average total goals of nearly three per match, the expectation for at least two goals in the match is firmly supported. Both teams, despite relatively low offensive numbers, seem to compensate with defensive lapses or openness leading to multi-goal games, making the over 1.5 goals market a strong position.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 78.00
The possibility of either team failing to find the net before halftime is significant. This is supported by the away team’s particularly low first-half scoring probability and emphasizes the potential tactical caution or lack of sharpness in early periods for either squad.
Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 72.00
The trend of limited second-half scoring points to possible stamina or tactical conservatism late in the game. This, coupled with other markets favoring under goals for at least one team in each half, hints at a match tempo that drops after halftime or substitutions that blunt attacking threats.
Over 0.5 Goals HT: 72.00
Despite both-teams-not-to-score probabilities in the first half, there is still a high chance for at least one goal before the break. This could indicate that the home side carries the early attacking impetus, capitalizing on defensive frailties or home advantage in the opening stages.
Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 67.00
Mynavi Sendai Ladies look unlikely to break through in the second half, which might be explained by fatigue, tactical changes by the home side, or superior fitness levels. This makes a second-half clean sheet for Cerezo Osaka Sakai a notable angle.
Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 67.00
There is an equally strong argument—despite home field advantage—that Cerezo Osaka Sakai may also find it difficult to score late. The dual possibility in both halves signals the risk of a goalless or low-scoring second period, perhaps influenced by defensive focus or lack of finishing quality.
Over 2.5 Goals: 67.00
While not as high as over 1.5, the expectation of three or more goals is still well above average. This is consistent with the season-long trend of high total goals per match in this fixture, making it an attractive market for those expecting open play or set-piece opportunities to be converted.
Both Teams To Score: 56.00
There remains a solid chance for both teams to find the net, but with conflicting signals from other markets, this prediction should be approached with moderation. The data hints more towards one-sided scoring or periods without goals from either team, yet the opportunity for BTTS exists if either side finds extra motivation.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 56.00
Cerezo Osaka Sakai’s prospects of netting before halftime are relatively promising, likely aided by home support and early pressure. Given their positioning as favorites in other markets, look for a positive and assertive start offensively.
Home Team To Win: 56.00
The likelihood of a home victory stands out, underlining a potential disparity in form or roster strength. With solid data on the away team’s struggles in front of goal across both halves, backing a Cerezo Osaka Sakai win aligns with the statistical trends.
