Over 0.5 Goals HT: 86.00%

The extremely high probability for at least one goal in the first half (86%) highlights the attacking intent of both sides from the outset. This aligns with the overall offensive profile, suggesting early opportunities and a fast start rather than a feeling-out process.

Over 1.5 Goals: 83.00%

With an 83% chance for the match to feature over 1.5 goals, bettors should expect multiple goals across both halves. This prediction is consistent with the aggregate goal averages of the teams involved, and signals that both defenses may concede despite disciplined approaches.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 83.00%

Despite a high odds for first-half goals, the 83% probability that both teams WON’T score in the first half suggests that scoring may initially be one-sided before balance is restored in later stages. This supports strategies that anticipate one team asserting itself early before the other responds.

First Goal Between Minute 0-29: 66.00%

A 66% likelihood for the first goal to arrive within the opening half hour strengthens the expectation of an aggressive and positive start, likely leading to a more open game after the deadlock is broken, with tactical shifts from the trailing team.

Both Teams To Score: 66.00%

The balanced probability for both teams finding the net reflects their similar averages in goals scored (1.17) and conceded (1.49). Each team has the tools to break down the other, making “Both Teams To Score” one of the more plausible scenarios.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 65.00%

The 65% expectation that one or both teams will keep a clean sheet in the second half suggests that after early action, defenses could tighten up, or scorelines may promote more conservative play, particularly if one team is protecting a lead.

Late Game Goals: Last Goal after 73’ (63.00%), Goal in Last 15 Minutes (63.00%), Goal in Last 10 Minutes (59.00%)

High percentages for late goals indicate that both sides retain attacking threat and stamina throughout the match. Late drama is highly likely, and substitutions or tactical switches could influence the outcome right up until the final whistle.

Home Team To Score In 2nd Half: 60.00%

Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 53.00%

An above 50% indication that Diosgyori may not score in the first half tempers expectations of a rampant home offensive early on, possibly due to Zalaegerszeg’s ability to control or frustrate in the opening stages.

Under 2.5 Goals: 52.00%

The line between a tight contest and moderate goal haul is razor-thin. With marginal favor towards under 2.5 goals, the market reflects the teams’ average outputs and implies that strong defensive phases can still prevail.
