There is a notable tendency for matches involving these teams to feature defensive solidity, particularly early in each half.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half (84.00%)

An 84% probability indicates a strong likelihood of a goalless or one-sided first half. Both teams appear to be compact and risk-averse early, making it less probable both will find the net before halftime. This trend is backed by their relatively low average goals scored, suggesting a cautious approach in the opening 45 minutes.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half (81.00%)

An 81% prediction for both teams not scoring in the second half suggests defenses tighten as the match progresses, or that tactical changes often fail to produce increased attacking output. Both sides seem disciplined in their play, with late attacking surges rarely resulting in goals for both teams.

Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half (69.00%)

With a 69% chance that UD Barbastro won’t score after halftime, Ejea’s defensive resilience at home comes into focus. This factor points to a potential drop in UD Barbastro’s offensive effectiveness as the match wears on, possibly due to tactical adaptations or fatigue.

Over 0.5 Goals at Half Time (63.00%)

The likelihood of at least one goal being scored by halftime stands at 63%. This aligns with the moderate match tempo and occasional breakthroughs in the first period, albeit most probably by just one side given defensive priorities.

Over 1.5 Goals Full Time (63.00%)

With the average total goals at 2.31, a 63% probability for over 1.5 goals is well-calibrated. It anticipates more than a single goal, yet the defensive records mean that high-scoring affairs are rare, so a 1–1 or 2–0 outcome seems most realistic.

Home Team To Win (59.00%)

Ejea enjoys a slight home-field advantage, reflected in the 59% predicted win probability. This emphasizes their solid performance levels in front of the home crowd, particularly when paired with their ability to contain opponents in later stages of the match.

The 56% forecast means a clean sheet is likely for at least one side, supporting under 2.5 goals trends as well. This factor, coupled with tight defenses, suggests limited attacking success from both teams.

Under 2.5 Goals (56.00%)

Most indicators signal a controlled, low-scoring match. A 56% probability for under 2.5 goals reflects the solid defensive metrics both teams boast, supporting the notion of tactical discipline throughout.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half (56.00%)

This prediction highlights Ejea’s strong early defensive performance at home. UD Barbastro is likely to struggle in breaking through before the interval, aligning with both teams’ underwhelming average offensive numbers.

Home Team To Score In 2nd Half (56.00%)

A 56% chance for Ejea to score post-halftime likely results from their incremental increase in attacking impetus as the match unfolds, especially with the home crowd’s backing.
