This leans towards a tactical battle, with both sides likely prioritizing defensive solidity, especially in the opening phases of the game.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half (86.00%)

There is an extremely high probability that at least one side will fail to score before halftime. These teams are likely to adopt a cautious approach from the outset, focusing on not conceding early. Bettors can expect a quiet first half, with limited clear opportunities and a good chance of a 0-0 scoreline at the break.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half (86.00%)

The defensive trend is projected to persist into the second half, again with a strong likelihood that both teams will not find the net after halftime. This could indicate a match where a single goal, especially if scored late, might settle proceedings as fatigue sets in and defensive focus intensifies.

Over 1.5 Goals (68.00%)

Despite the defensive tendencies, there is a solid expectation for at least two goals to be scored in total. This suggests that the match may open up as it progresses, with both teams gradually taking more risks or capitalizing on set-piece situations. Still, the likelihood of an explosive, high-scoring game remains low.

Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half (64.00%)
