At an 89% prediction rate, this is the highest confidence indicator for this fixture. Both teams are expected to approach the first half with caution, focusing on defensive solidity rather than attacking risk. Historically, these sides do not score frequently in the opening 45 minutes, making a goalless first half highly likely.

Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half

With another 89% confidence rate, Racing Ferrol’s attack appears unlikely to break through before halftime. Their low average goals scored and tendency to play conservatively at home make it probable that Zaragoza will manage to keep a clean sheet through the first period.

Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half

Away Team To Score In 2nd Half

There is a 67% likelihood that Zaragoza will find the net after halftime. Tactical adjustments and increased urgency typically lead to more open play in the second half, and this is when the away side is most likely to capitalize.

Over 4.5 Cards

At a 67% probability, this match is projected to see a high level of physicality and defensive aggression, especially in the latter stages. Given the competitive nature of the fixture and what’s potentially at stake, surpassing 4.5 cards is a solid betting proposition.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half

Over 0.5 Goals HT

Under 5.5 Cards

Under 2.5 Goals

Additional Expert Predictions

• Expect a tactical battle with long periods of midfield play and limited chances. In-play betting might present more value as the match progresses past the cautious first half.
• The likelihood of a key moment—a set piece or defensive error—deciding the match in the second half is high. Consider bets on second-half action and late goals.
• Given the low red card average (0.17), major disciplinary incidents are unlikely, reducing the risk of drastic match swings due to sendings-off.
• Monitor team news for possible last-minute changes, especially to attacking lineups, as this could influence the low-scoring trend.
