Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 74.00

Salernitana’s odds of failing to score even after the break are significant (71%). Cittadella could be expected to tighten up further if the score remains level, especially at home, making a Salernitana second-half goal an unlikely event in expert estimation.

Under 5.5 Cards: 65.00

With a 65% chance of seeing under 5.5 cards and an average of only 2.58 yellow cards per match, disciplinary issues are unlikely to be the story. While the match is projected to be defensively oriented, fair play could keep the card count low, further limiting disruptions and flowing play.

Both Teams Not to Score: 65.00

The overall match prediction supports a 65% likelihood that at least one team will fail to find the net over 90 minutes. This aligns with the overall goal averages and both teams’ season-long performances, indicating value in ‘Both Teams to Score: No’ markets.

Under 2.5 Goals: 65.00

The expectation of under 2.5 goals occurs at a 65% rate, consistent with the season-long averages. With both offenses underperforming and both defences proving effective, this is one of the strongest plays in this set of odds.

Draw In First Half: 59.00

A goalless or level scoreline at halftime is expected 59% of the time given both teams’ approach. Considering the predicted lack of first-half attacking action, a halftime draw is a safe and calculated proposition.

Under 0.5 Goals HT: 56.00

There is a 56% probability for a 0-0 halftime score. Both teams’ early-game caution and defensive focus further cement this likelihood, making ‘Under 0.5 goals in the first half’ an increasingly solid betting angle.

Over 1.5 Goals: 59.00

Despite all defensive trends, there is a slight 59% leaning toward the match featuring at least two goals. However, this is only marginal, so bettors should weigh this against the higher confidence given to under-goal outcomes and team scoring projections.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 59.00

Cittadella are also not expected to find the net in the latter period, with a 59% probability of this event. The implication is that, even if there is a breakthrough, it could be a solitary goal or arrive late, with little chance of an eruptive finish.

Over 4.5 Cards: 56.00

There is a moderate chance (56%) of at least 5 cards, but with the season averages favoring fewer bookings, erring on the side of ‘under’ could be more prudent unless tensions unexpectedly rise.
