The match is predicted to be tightly contested with a high likelihood of both teams focusing on defense in the first half, as suggested by the odds for both teams not scoring (83.00) and the home team not scoring (82.00). The possibility of under 5.5 cards (84.80) indicates disciplined play from both sides.
In terms of goals, while there is a significant chance of under 2.5 goals (64.30), the average total goals per match stands at 3.33, suggesting potential for a more open game in the second half or through set pieces.
The draw in the first half (53.40) is another plausible outcome given the defensive setups expected from both teams early in the game.
The odds for yellow cards (3.49) suggest that while there may be some aggressive play, it is unlikely to result in excessive bookings.
