SKAF Khémis Mélina vs RC Kouba

General Expert Overview

The upcoming fixture between SKAF Khémis Mélina and RC Kouba on May 9, 2025, promises to be a tactical contest, reflecting both teams’ conservative playing styles. With the average total goals per game at 1.82 and both sides combining for just 1.10 goals scored and 0.71 conceded on average, spectators should anticipate a tight encounter centered on strong defensive organization rather than open, attacking football.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half

The probability of both teams failing to score in the first half stands at a remarkable 96%. This suggests the match is likely to begin cautiously, with both sides prioritizing defensive shape and minimizing risks early on. Tight marking and limited space in midfield could result in few goal-scoring chances before halftime.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half

Similarly, there is a 93% chance that neither team will find the net in the second half. This indicates that defensive solidity will persist after the interval, perhaps even intensifying as game management becomes a priority if the score is level or only marginally separated.

Both Teams Not to Score (Full Match)

The combined chances of both teams not scoring at all in the match is a notably high 71%. This reinforces the expectation of a low-scoring affair, where one or both teams are likely to keep a clean sheet, and a goalless draw remains a plausible outcome.

Under 2.5 Goals

With a 64% prediction for under 2.5 goals, a defensive battle is highly probable. Both teams historically struggle with offensive productivity and prefer structured defensive lines, supporting a scenario with one or two goals at most.

Over 1.5 Goals

Despite the general trend toward low scoring, the probability for over 1.5 goals stands at 54%. While not overly convincing, there remains a realistic chance this match could see two goals, perhaps from set-pieces or isolated attacking phases.

Additional Expert Predictions

• Draw at Halftime: Given the defensive emphasis, a goalless or level scoreline at halftime is highly probable.
• Few Shots on Target: Expect limited goalmouth action with few shots on target throughout the match.
• Under 8.5 Corners: With little attacking fluidity, set plays may be at a premium, resulting in a low corner count.
• Clean Sheet Likely: Either goalkeeper stands a good chance of keeping a clean sheet, with both teams difficult to break down.
