Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 90%
There is a very high probability that at least one of the teams will fail to score in the second half of this match. This reflects the possible tactical adjustments and more conservative play style expected after halftime. Typically in youth/reserve-level football in Argentina, the second half may see reduced offensive risk-taking, supporting this high-probability outcome.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 80%
With an 80% probability, a goalless half or a single-team-scoring first half is expected. This strong prediction is backed by conservative starts and a focus on organization before shifting to a more direct approach, which often leads to a tighter opening period and lower early scoring frequency.
Over 2.5 BTTS / Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals: 60%
The odds suggest there’s a moderate chance (60%) for both teams to score combined with over 2.5 goals in the match. This aligns closely with the average total goals per game metric. Both squads have consistent scoring trends which may result in an open, end-to-end affair, especially as the game progresses and teams look to press for victory.
Both Teams To Score: 60%
There is a 60% likelihood that both Defensa y Justicia Reserves and Unión Santa Fe Reserves will find the net at least once. It’s an indication that, despite the defensive tendencies, opportunities are likely to arise for each side, making this a solid betting consideration.
Over 1.5 Goals: 60%
The match is anticipated to see at least two goals, supported by the goal averages of both teams. Bettors can expect open play to eventually produce multiple scoring chances, particularly with tactical changes in the second half.
Over 2.5 Goals: 60%
The expected average total goals of 2.7 underlines the 60% probability of the match exceeding the 2.5-goal benchmark. While not guaranteed, this makes the over 2.5 goals market attractive for those considering value bets in this fixture.
Additional Expert Predictions
- Given the low probability of both teams scoring in either half, a scoreline such as 1-1 or 2-0 is statistically plausible.
- Second-half defensive solidity should be a feature, so live bets on under goals or “no to both teams scoring in the second half” are advisable as the match continues goalless or low-scoring into halftime.
- With average defensive concessions, look for late-game substitutions to possibly affect the final scoreline, making the last 20 minutes a key window for added goals.
