Both Teams Not To Score in 1st Half: 83.00
Revealing a pronounced trend, there is a strong prediction that neither team will find the net during the first half. This is backed by both sides’ lack of offensive output early in recent fixtures and their tendency to prioritize stability and defensive robustness from the opening whistle. The implied probability of mutual attacking restraint before halftime is notably high.
Both Teams Not To Score in 2nd Half: 73.00
The continuation of conservative play is also expected into the second half. While teams may loosen up after the break, this fixture predicts a sustained lack of goals from both participants due to lingering defensive patterns and perhaps limited match fitness or creative spark late in games.
Away Team Not To Score in 1st Half: 73.00
Madura United, as the away team, is forecasted to remain goalless in the opening 45 minutes. This aligns with their recent struggles to break down opposition defenses in away games and their tendency to play conservatively outside their home ground.
Over 1.5 Goals: 67.00
Despite strong low-scoring patterns, there is acknowledged potential for at least two goals in the match, suggesting that while defensive play will dominate, opportunistic goals or late-game openings could influence the outcome. However, the probability for this is moderate and could hinge on set-piece situations or errors.
Away Team Not To Score in 2nd Half: 67.00
Continuing the theme, Madura United is not expected to improve their offensive output in the second half. Defensive resilience from the home team or lacking quality in the visitors’ final third limits their expected goal-scoring opportunities.
Over 0.5 Goals, 1st Half: 60.00
While the overall first half may lack fireworks, there is still a decent chance for at least one goal before halftime. Any breakthrough would likely come from set pieces or individual errors rather than sustained attacking play.
Home Team Not To Score in 2nd Half: 60.00
Semen Padang is also predicted to struggle offensively after the break. This highlights their lack of creative depth as matches progress and the potential for the away team to tighten defensively in the latter stages.
Under 2.5 Goals: 53.00
The under 2.5 goals metric further cements expectations for a tightly contested and scoreline-limited match. With both teams averaging less than a goal per game and defenses being the stronger aspect, the probability of a low-scoring outcome remains tangible.
Home Team Not To Score in 1st Half: 53.00
Early pressure may not translate into goals for Semen Padang, mirroring their season-long pattern of underwhelming first-half performance in attack. Defensive focus from Madura United adds to the likelihood of a goalless half for the hosts.
