Both Teams Not To Score in 2nd Half
With odds set at 99.00, this bet indicates confidence in a low-scoring second half. Given the high average number of goals conceded (3.02), it suggests both teams could maintain a more conservative approach in the latter stages, focusing on preserving their standing rather than pushing aggressively for a win.
Both Teams Not To Score in 1st Half
The odds for no goals in the first half are set at 98.60, further emphasizing a potential cautious start from both teams. This might be attributed to the fact that teams could be wary of early mistakes before establishing their gameplay strategies. An average scoring goal rate of 1.71 suggests some offensive potential, but first-half restraint seems probable.
Over 1.5 Goals
At odds of 76.80, betting on over 1.5 goals reflects an expectation of at least a few scoring opportunities. Given the average total goals expected to be 3.12, this bet presents a reasonable chance, indicating that while the game may be tight, some goals are likely.
Over 2.5 Goals
With odds at 59.80, over 2.5 goals suggests that this fixture might see some action-packed moments with multiple teams finding the net. The average goals conceded suggest open play on both sides, making this a viable option for those looking for a higher-risk, higher-reward bet.
Both Teams To Score
Both teams scoring at odds of 51.70 seems apparent given the average scores and conceded goals (1.71 scored, 3.02 conceded). It indicates a relatively open game where defensive lapses or strategic errors could lead to goals on both ends.
