General Expert Overview

The match between FK Struga and KF Shkendija is poised to be a tactical and potentially cagey contest, reflecting the current statistical trends of both teams. With an average total goals of just 2.13, and both teams exhibiting respectable defensive records—scoring an average of 1.24 goals while conceding merely 0.90—this contest is likely to be low-scoring and tightly fought.

Both Teams Not To Score in 1st Half (83.00)

There is a very strong indication that both teams will not find the net before the halftime whistle. Both FK Struga and KF Shkendija often keep things compact and cautious early in games, which aligns with the high probability (83%) that at least one side will fail to score in the opening half. Defensive organization and a wary approach are likely, making this a top consideration for low first-half action.

Both Teams Not To Score in 2nd Half (79.00)

The prediction remains robust into the second half, with nearly an 80% likelihood that both teams will not score after the break. Given the overall defensive strengths and conservative play styles, a similar pattern of limited offensive breakthroughs is expected, particularly as tactical battles intensify in the later stages.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half (71.00)

KF Shkendija’s struggle to score away from home in the first half is evident, with a strong chance (71%) that they will be held scoreless by FK Struga. This underscores FK Struga’s defensive solidity on their home turf and implies a likely scenario where the host controls early proceedings.

Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half (67.00)

FK Struga themselves also have a significant probability (67%) of not scoring in the opening period. This mutual inability to break deadlocks early suggests a first half that is more likely to end goalless, or at the very least, see only one team scoring.

Draw In First Half (65.00)

With both teams defensively adept and generally cautious in the first 45 minutes, there is a 65% expectation the score will be level at halftime. This further supports the view of a tactical stalemate before the break.

Under 2.5 Goals (62.00) & Both Teams Not to Score (62.00)

The game is tipped to stay under 2.5 goals with 62% probability, matched by the same likelihood of both teams not scoring at all. These figures, combined with the aforementioned defensive records and low-scoring averages, reinforce the expert belief in a cautious, low-margin affair, perhaps ending 1-0, 0-0, or 2-0.

Home Team to Score in 2nd Half (60.00)

FK Struga has a 60% chance of scoring in the second half, showing some late-game offensive potential. If there is to be a breakthrough, it is likely to come from the home side after halftime, possibly as a result of adjustments or growing pressure.

Over 1.5 Goals (59.00) & Under 0.5 Goals HT (59.00)

There is a moderate chance (59%) of seeing at least two goals in the game, yet almost an identical probability that the first half could end goalless. The most plausible scenario here is a game that opens up late, with goals likely to come only in the latter part.

Away Team To Score in 2nd Half (57.00)

KF Shkendija’s chances of finding the net after halftime stand at 57%, suggesting any away attacking threat is most likely to materialize late. Still, this is slightly below the home side’s probability, emphasizing FK Struga’s relative advantage in the final stages.

First Goal After 30+ Minutes (55.00)

The balance of play points to a first goal only after the 30th minute—a 55% likelihood that underscores the expectation of a patient, possibly slow-starting match, where defenses hold sway in the early exchanges.
