The statistical insights suggest a match leaning towards defensive solidity over attacking flair, with both teams featuring moderate goal averages (2.65 total goals per game).

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 90.00

The probability indicates a very strong expectation that at least one team will keep a clean sheet throughout the opening half. Both squads tend to prioritize defensive organization from the start, rarely exposing themselves early. Expect a measured approach, with limited risk-taking, especially in the opening 45 minutes.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 85.00

Even as the match progresses, the likelihood is high that at least one side fails to find the net in the latter period. This points to well-drilled back lines or a lack of clinical finishing under pressure, ensuring the second half remains tense with few breakthroughs.

Over 1.5 Goals: 80.00

There remains a considerable chance for at least two goals in total, which aligns well with the average goals per game for both teams. The balance between attack and defense suggests scoring opportunities will eventually come—most likely as play opens up after a cautious start.

Home Team To Score In 2nd Half: 70.00

With a reasonable probability, Torreense (w) is expected to find the net after the break. This could be attributed to tactical adjustments or increased urgency as the clock winds down, especially when supported by their home advantage.

Both Teams Not to Score: 65.00

It’s more likely than not that at least one side draws a blank over the full 90 minutes. Given both teams’ average output and defensive discipline, a shut-out on one side seems probable.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 65.00

Despite the defensive overtures, there’s still a strong possibility of at least one goal before halftime. This may come via a set piece, a defensive lapse, or an opportunistic attack from either side.

Sum of Goals 2 or 3: 60.00

The statistical realignment is toward a modest total—two or three goals aligns with the combined attack/defense metrics and corresponds to the typical patterns for both squads this season.

Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 60.00

Valadares Gaia (w) faces a decent probability of being shut out after halftime, reflecting the hosts’ improved defensive focus or possible energy drop-off for the away team as the match progresses.

Under 2.5 Goals: 55.00

The figures point slightly more towards a low-scoring affair, underlining the primary narrative: both teams are generally compact at the back, and offensive explosiveness is absent.
