The upcoming clash between South Melbourne U23 and Oakleigh Cannons U23 is set for May 11, 2025, at 04:00. Both teams have shown attacking intent in recent fixtures, evident from a notably high average total goals per match (3.88) and average goals scored (2.58). Defensive vulnerabilities are also present, with both sides conceding on average 1.29 goals per game.

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 99.00%

With a 99% probability, the first half is highly likely to see at least one team unable to find the net. This indicates that the game may start cautiously, or that one of the sides tends to build into matches more gradually. Bettors should expect a defensively organized beginning or a lack of early clinical finishing.

Over 1.5 Goals: 99.00%

The expectation of more than 1.5 goals is extremely strong at 99%. Both teams’ attacking metrics and defensive records suggest that this fixture will feature multiple goal-scoring opportunities, likely surpassing two goals during regular time.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 99.00%

An almost certain prediction that both teams will not score in the second half points to the likelihood that, similar to the first half, only one of the teams will manage goals after the interval. This could imply a pivotal tactical shift at halftime or fatigue setting in, restricting goal-scoring to one side late in the game.

Over 2.5 Goals: 79.00%

The probability for over 2.5 goals stands very high at 79%. The statistics support a goal-laden game, suggesting the fixture will be entertaining and open, with at least three goals highly probable based on recent trends.

Over 3.5 Goals: 63.00%

Over 3.5 goals is also likely with a 63% forecast. Given the attacking output and moderate defensive frailties of both teams, a four-goal thriller or more could very well be on the cards for this encounter.

Both Teams To Score: 58.00%

There is a moderate indicator (58%) that both teams will score at some point during the match. Despite the high probabilities of one team failing to score in each individual half, the aggregate suggests that at least one exchange of goals from both teams could still materialize—possibly with both scoring in the same or different halves.

Home Team To Win: 54.00%

With a 54% probability, South Melbourne U23 is slightly favored to secure the victory. Their home advantage, combined with offensive statistics, positions them as marginal favorites against the Oakleigh Cannons U23.
