Both Teams Not To Score in 1st Half

With a prediction of 91.00%, expect a slow start to this game. Both Zenith Prato and Piacenza often fail to find the net before halftime, likely due to their main tactical focus on organization and risk minimization early on. This makes goalless early periods very probable and suggests betting markets around first half goals should lean heavily towards the under.

Team-Specific Clean Sheets in the 1st Half

The likelihood that either the home (81.00%) or away team (81.00%) will not score in the first 45 minutes reflects how both have struggled to convert chances early and remain compact in defense. This further reinforces that a cagey opening half is on the cards.

Second Half Dynamics

The probability of both teams not to score in the second half stands at 78.00%. This emphasizes persistent offensive struggles and defensive conservatism throughout the game, reducing the appeal of second-half goals.

Goal Totals and Both Teams to Score

The market sees only a 63.00% chance for over 0.5 goals at halftime, highlighting the overall lack of firepower. Odds against both teams to score (63.00%) also stay high, further reflecting the teams’ struggles in attack. Under 2.5 goals (59.00%) is also favored, making this match prime for low-scoring outcome predictions.

Second Half and Match-End Trends

The home team’s probability of not scoring in the second half is equally 63.00%, showing their recurring offensive inefficiency after halftime. Piacenza is more likely to strike in the second half (56.00%), though this figure still does not inspire major confidence in a breakthrough.

Best Value Bets and Additional Predictions

• Few goals expected overall—Under 2.5 goals is a strong pick based on historical averages and defensive tendencies.
• The first half should be particularly cagey, so betting on a goalless or under 1.5 goals in the first half markets also gives value.
• Both teams to not score across the match combines both teams’ attacking inefficiency—this bet merits strong consideration.
• If forced to pick a side, a narrow Piacenza win in the second half is more likely than a home goal surge, but overall, a low-scoring draw cannot be ruled out.
