Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 85.00%

This prediction signals a very high likelihood that at least one team will keep a clean sheet in the second half. Historically, both sides adopt a reserved strategy after halftime, making it less probable that the match opens up late. Expect at least one offense to stall in the final 45 minutes, likely due to fatigue or tactical conservatism.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 85.00%

With equally strong odds, the data indicates that scoring by both teams before the break is highly unlikely. This prediction may reflect a mutual focus on defense early on, suggesting a slow-burning contest where teams prioritize shape and discipline over early risk-taking.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 76.00%

Sportist Svoge’s inability to register a first-half goal is strongly backed by the numbers. Expect CSKA 1948 Sofia II to implement a fast-pressing game or maintain possession, curtailing Svoge’s attacking opportunities and potentially dominating the early phases.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 74.00%

Despite dominantly defensive trends, there remains a solid chance for at least one first-half goal. This outcome is most likely to come from the home side, taking advantage of their tactical familiarity and potential early-game energy.

Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 71.00%

Sportist Svoge faces significant hurdles in breaching the home defense after halftime, possibly due to tactical rigidity on the part of CSKA 1948 Sofia II or a lack of depth in attack. Look for the away team’s creativity to fizzle out late on.

Over 1.5 Goals: 68.00%

The likelihood of at least two goals being scored is reasonable, aligning with the average total goals statistics. While neither team is prolific, the gradual build-up of pressure and counter-attacking possibilities may result in the game exceeding the 1.5-goal threshold.

Home Team To Score In 1st Half: 65.00%

CSKA 1948 Sofia II’s offense has a solid chance of finding the net before halftime, emphasizing their capacity to establish dominance early and exploit Svoge’s tentative defensive setup.

Both Teams Not to Score: 59.00%

A slightly better than even probability that the game will see at least one team blanked in terms of goals scored. The tactical subtleties on display and solid defensive performances could easily yield a one-sided or goalless sheet for one side.

Under 2.5 Goals: 59.00%

The overall trend points toward a tight, compact encounter with disciplined defending. Low scoring is favored, suggesting this game is more likely to see two goals or fewer rather than a goalfest.
