Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 99.00
The prediction for both teams not to score in the second half is exceptionally high at 99.00, highlighting the likelihood that defensive vigilance will be maintained deep into the match. Given the strong defensive records, expect the second half to mirror the first in terms of limited open play, with the chances of both teams finding the net after halftime being extremely slim.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 99.00
The probability of both teams being unable to score in the opening half is also set at 99.00. This reflects disciplined tactical setups and conservative starts from both teams. Expect a cautious and measured first half, perhaps with few clear-cut chances and potentially a 0-0 scoreline leading into the break.
Both Teams Not to Score: 88.00
The overall likelihood of both sides getting on the scoresheet at any point during the match stands at only 12%, as 88.00 is the probability for “not to score.” This is consistent with the defensive dominance both teams have displayed during the season, suggesting that a clean sheet for at least one team is almost inevitable.
Over 1.5 Goals: 63.00
Despite the low overall scoring trend, there is a moderate 63.00 probability for the match to see at least two goals. This suggests that if there is a breakthrough, it may lead to a second goal from the same team, rather than both sides getting on the scoresheet. A 2-0 result is plausible with these statistics.
Under 2.5 Goals: 63.00
The under 2.5 goals market is favored with a 63.00 probability, reinforcing predictions for a low-scoring contest. This implies 1-0 or 2-0 as the most likely final scorelines. Defensive structures are expected to hold for most of the game, restricting offensive opportunities and keeping the score low.
Additional Expert Predictions
- Correct Score Prediction: Most likely outcomes are 0-0 in the first half, and 1-0 or 2-0 to either team at full time, with a slight edge toward the side with home advantage (Hearts).
- Clean Sheet: The chances of at least one team keeping a clean sheet are exceedingly high given past defensive records.
- First Goal Timing: Anticipate a late first goal, possibly after the 50th minute, as the defenses settle in and attacking risks increase only after halftime.
- Match Tempo and Strategy: Expect a tactical, slow-paced match with both teams likely prioritizing avoiding mistakes over chasing early goals.
