Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 89.00
The extremely high value indicates a very strong probability that at least one team will fail to find the net in the first half. This suggests a cautious or defensively tight opening 45 minutes, likely reflecting the importance of a stable start for both sides. Tactical approaches may prioritize structure over early aggression, with key chances likely coming only after the break.
Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 85.00
Despite trends towards increased attacking play in the second period, the data continues to favor one or both teams keeping a clean sheet after halftime. Coaches may adjust strategies, but defensive lapses are not expected to be widespread. However, any breakthrough achieved in the opening half could set the tone and potentially alter this dynamic.
Over 1.5 Goals: 82.00
The prediction leans heavily toward at least two goals being scored in the match. Given the average total goal rate (2.81), both teams are likely to create enough quality chances to surpass this threshold. This makes the over 1.5 goals scenario a strong possibility, especially as stamina drops in the closing stages and tactical risks are taken.
Both Teams Not to Score: 52.00
While the likelihood is slightly above average that both teams will not score, the margin is not overwhelming. The figures suggest at least one team is expected to struggle offensively, so a clean sheet for either Ibar or FK Podgorica is realistic. Caution is still required, as both sides average over one goal involvement per game, which introduces some risk for this market.
Over 2.5 Goals: 52.00
The chances of surpassing three total goals are nearly balanced. This matches well with the average goals statistic (2.81), indicating that open play and late-match developments could be decisive. Should the match open up early, the over 2.5 goals scenario becomes more attainable, especially against potentially fatigued defenses in the final quarter.
Additional Expert Predictions
- Late Goals Likely: Expect the bulk of scoring opportunities and breakthroughs to come after halftime, particularly given the tentative statistics for the first half.
- Potential Clean Sheet for FK Podgorica: Given the slightly higher average conceded goals per team, FK Podgorica may be better organized defensively and capable of shutting out Ibar.
- Draw or Single-Goal Margin: With neither side asserting strong dominance offensively, a closely contested outcome or a win by one goal seems plausible.
