The match between FC Koln II and Turkspor Dortmund 2000 eV is expected to be intense, given the scheduled date and time. The statistical indicators suggest a fixture where both teams may find it challenging to score freely, especially in the first half, reflecting disciplined defensive setups or tactical caution from both sides. The average total goals per game is relatively high at 3.67, with an average of 2.35 goals conceded and 1.32 scored per match, indicating that while there is potential for goals, defensive vulnerabilities exist as well.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half (84%)

The probability that both teams will not score in the first half is notably high. This suggests that the first period is likely to be cagey, with one or both sides adopting a cautious approach and limiting opportunities. The teams’ tendency to settle into the match may contribute to a goalless or one-sided half.

Over 1.5 Goals (84%)

Despite anticipated first-half restraint, the chances of the match producing over 1.5 goals are equally strong. This aligns with the high average total goals per match, hinting at more open play and increased attacking ambition in the latter stages. Opportunities should open up for both sides, especially in the second half.

Over 0.5 Goals HT (80%)

Although both teams not scoring in the first half is highly likely, at least one goal may still be expected before the half-time whistle. This implies the probability of one side breaking the deadlock if defensive mistakes occur or set-pieces come into play.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half (78%)
