Shandong Taishan FC vs Zhejiang Professional FC

General Overview

The match between Shandong Taishan FC and Zhejiang Professional FC on 2025-05-10 is expected to be a tightly contested affair with moderate goal-scoring statistics. Data analysis shows an average total goal count of 2.75, indicating a reasonable chance for some offensive action, but not an overwhelming scoring display. Both teams display similar defensive and attacking capabilities, with average goals scored at 1.42 and conceded at 1.33, suggesting neither side has a clear upper hand in offense or defense. The predicted low card counts (Yellow Cards: 1.75, Red Cards: 0.17) hint at a disciplined game without excessive aggression.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 92%

There is an extraordinarily high probability that both teams will fail to score in the first half. Recent performances indicate defensive solidity and a tendency to approach the game cautiously from the kickoff. Such a prediction is also supported by the relatively low number of average goals and the careful style both teams have demonstrated in the opening 45 minutes of previous encounters. Punters should expect a slow start, with opportunities likely to increase only after halftime.

Over 1.5 Goals: 83%

With an 83% probability, the likelihood of the match producing more than 1.5 goals is strong. Both squads have shown capability in attack while their average conceded goals per match suggests some vulnerability at the back. This scenario supports expectations of at least two goals in the match, making this bet attractive for those favoring modestly productive matches.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 75%

There is significant confidence that both sides will not find the net during the second half. Historically, one or both teams have struggled to maintain attacking momentum or break through defensively as matches progress, emphasizing the cautious approach especially in later stages of play.

Under 4.5 cards & Under 5.5 cards: 75%

Both predictions point towards a disciplined game with minimal interruptions due to fouls. The average booking statistics—yellow and red cards—reinforce this scenario. Refereeing trends and the teams’ disciplined playing styles make it highly likely that the match will see fewer than five cards in total.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 67%

The chances of at least one goal being scored by halftime are considerable but not assured. This aligns with the overall match dynamics where both teams tend to find attacking rhythm as the game stabilizes, although early goals are not frequent, further reinforcing earlier observations about first half scoring restraint.

Home/Away Team Not To Score In Specific Halves: 67%

The likelihoods for the home team not scoring in the second half and the away team not scoring in the first half are both significant at 67%. These outcomes support the idea that goals, if they come at all, may not be evenly distributed across halves, possibly influenced by tactical adjustments and conservative strategies as the game unfolds.

Both Teams Not to Score: 58%

More than half the time, data suggest at least one team will end the match goalless. The relatively balanced defensive stats and a trend towards lower-scoring outcomes support a result where a clean sheet for one side is the likely outcome.
