Both Teams Not To Score in 1st Half: 84.00%

There is a very high chance (84%) that neither side will find the net in the first half. Both teams prioritize defensive organization in early play, typically sitting deep and focusing on shape before opening up after halftime. This is reinforced by their modest average goals scored and conceded.

Home Team Not To Score in 1st Half: 75.00%

Deportivo La Coruna II has a 75% likelihood of failing to score before the break. This aligns with their average scoring rate and recent trends that see their offensive output ramp up only after halftime. It highlights their cautious, slow-starting tactical approach.

Both Teams Not To Score in 2nd Half: 72.00%

The probability that neither team will score after the interval stands at 72%. This suggests defensive adjustments and fatigue set in after the break, with conservative substitutions or tactical withdrawals by both managers.

Away Team To Score in 2nd Half: 69.00%

Despite tight overall margins, Gimnastica Torrelavega shows a 69% probability of scoring in the second half. This hints at a game plan reliant on late surges and exploiting spaces as the match opens up, possibly as Deportivo La Coruna II commits more players forward.

Over 1.5 Goals: 69.00%

The expectation of at least two goals overall (69% chance) makes over 1.5 goals a plausible outcome, even if most scoring is likely reserved for the second half. The combined average total goals (2.35) supports this prediction.

Away Team Not To Score in 1st Half: 63.00%

Gimnastica Torrelavega’s until-halftime drought (63%) mirrors that of their opponents, underlining an overall conservative match script in the opening 45 minutes. Early goals from the visitors appear highly unlikely, pointing toward a tactical deadlock.

Both Teams Not To Score: 59.00%

With a 59% chance, at least one team is expected to fail to find the net, reflecting both sides’ limited attacking potency and vulnerabilities in front of goal. This scenario is consistent with the defensive characteristics shown in the season averages.

Under 2.5 Goals: 59.00%

There’s a significant probability (59%) that the match will remain below three goals, which further supports expectations of a tightly contested, low-scoring affair. The side-by-side offensive and defensive averages reinforce this assessment.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 59.00%

Despite overall early caution, there remains a moderate 59% probability for at least one goal before halftime. While not as likely as a goalless half, it’s a value worth considering for risk-seekers looking for deviation from the primary trend.

Home Team Not To Score in 2nd Half: 56.00%

After the interval, Deportivo La Coruna II’s expected scoring rate remains low, with a 56% chance of failing to score. Their attack frequently struggles to break down organized defenses, especially as matches progress and spaces tighten.

Draw in First Half: 53.00%

There’s a 53% probability the teams will be tied at halftime, usually due to mutual cautious approaches and limited attacking chances in the opening phase. This further reinforces the likely pattern of a cagey opening half with few clear-cut opportunities.
