Statistical trends highlight a moderate average total goals rate of 2.53 per match, with teams collectively scoring 1.56 goals and conceding 0.97 goals per game.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half

With an 88.00% probability that both teams will not find the net during the first half, expect a cautious start. Both teams may prioritize defensive structure early, reducing spaces in the opening 45 minutes. This is typically indicative of strategic planning and risk aversion, especially from underdog sides or in matches with high stakes.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half

Even in the second half, the probability remains high (80.00%) that one or both teams will fail to score. This points to consistently strong defensive setups and possibly a lack of attacking creativity. Late-game fatigue sometimes opens matches, but in this case, the data signals defenses remaining resolute throughout.

Over 0.5 Goals in the First Half

There is a strong likelihood (72.00%) that at least one goal will be scored before halftime. Despite defensive solidity, a moment of individual quality or an early tactical shift could see at least one breakthrough by the interval, likely favoring the away team based on further probabilities.

Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half

A probability of 72.00% points toward Humble Lions struggling to find the net in the first half. This aligns with the away side’s defensive strength or possibly the home team’s attacking inefficiency, projecting a low early output from Humble Lions.

Away Team To Score In 1st Half

The likelihood that Mount Pleasant Academy FC will find the back of the net in the opening 45 minutes stands at 71.00%. This hints at relative attacking superiority or conversion ability, giving them a strong chance of setting the tone early.

Over 1.5 Total Goals

A 69.00% chance of exceeding 1.5 goals reflects the expectation for a minimum of two goals in the match, given the average goal statistics. This suggests that, while cagey, the game should still see enough action to entertain over 1.5 goal lines, probably driven by the away side.

Away Team To Score In 2nd Half

With a 65.00% probability, Mount Pleasant Academy FC is again favored to score after the interval. This underscores their sustained attacking potency and tactical adjustments post-halftime, making them a significant second-half threat.

Under 2.5 Total Goals

There is a 57.00% probability that total goals remain under 2.5, balancing the expectation of a defensively oriented affair with just enough attacking moments to avoid a goalless draw. Games like this often hinge on a limited number of scoring opportunities.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half

Humble Lions are predicted with 56.00% probability not to score after the break, reinforcing their likely struggles against what appears to be a disciplined Mount Pleasant defense.

Both Teams To Score
