General Expert Overview

The match between Palermo and Carrarese, scheduled for May 13, 2025, promises to be a closely-contested fixture. The statistical outlook demonstrates a relatively low-scoring environment, with the average total goals at 2.41 and both teams showing a tendency to defend well early in each half. With the average goals scored standing at just 1.05 and average conceded goals at 1.35, neither team stands out as particularly prolific offensively. Furthermore, disciplinary measures are moderate, as reflected by an average of 2.32 yellow cards and 0.12 red cards per game, indicating a match that could see periods of tactical conservatism interlaced with sporadic offensive action.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 82.00

The probability of both teams failing to score in the first half is highly significant, underlining a strong defensive approach from the outset or a lack of early offensive momentum. Both teams typically start matches with caution, and objective performance data corroborates the likelihood of a goalless first half for at least one side, making this outcome probable.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 79.00

The data suggests that the trend of tight defensive play extends into the second half, with a high probability of one or both sides not finding the net. This highlights that sustained attacking pressure may be sporadic and neither team shows consistent ability to break down defenses after the interval.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 68.00

While the match tends towards low scoring early on, there remains a notable chance of at least one goal being scored in the first half. This probability points to isolated attacking surges or defensive lapses, suggesting that punters could see action before the halftime whistle.

Over 1.5 Goals: 65.00 & Under 2.5 Goals: 59.00

These margins indicate an expected total goals bracket between 1 and 2, consistent with the average total. The balance between over 1.5 and under 2.5 goals points towards an outcome likely falling in the 1-1 or 2-0 scoreline zone, reinforcing the theme of measured but not explosive offensive output.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half: 65.00 & In 2nd Half: 59.00

Carrarese’s attacking threat appears muted, particularly in the opening forty-five minutes. Their reduced likelihood to score in both halves implies Palermo’s home defensive solidity should play a decisive role, potentially giving the hosts a psychological and tactical edge.

Home Team To Score In Each Half: 53.00 (1st Half), 53.00 (2nd Half)

With equal probabilities for Palermo scoring in both halves, the hosts show consistency in generating scoring chances throughout the game. Expect Palermo to exert pressure across both periods, with slightly greater confidence attached to their ability to score, especially if the game is level or if trailing.

Cards: Over 4.5 (56.00), Under 5.5 (59.00)

The balance between these possible card outcomes points to a feisty contest but not one likely to spiral into frantic or ill-disciplined chaos. Expect the referee to be involved, but extreme disruption is unlikely.
