Over 1.5 Goals
The probability of over 1.5 goals stands at 74.40%, indicating a strong likelihood of at least two goals being scored in the match. AZ Alkmaar’s attacking lineup and recent form suggest they will be the primary contributors to this total. Ilves’ occasional lapses in defense could further facilitate this outcome. Therefore, backing over 1.5 goals appears to be a sensible choice given the attacking nature of both teams.
Under 2.5 Goals
With an implied probability of 61.50%, betting on under 2.5 goals suggests that a tightly contested match or a one-sided affair might limit the goal tally to three or fewer. This scenario could unfold if Ilves manage to tighten their defensive lines effectively or if AZ Alkmaar struggles to convert their chances into goals. However, considering both teams’ tendencies to score, this bet carries more risk compared to over 1.5 goals.
Both Teams Not to Score
The odds for both teams not to score are set at 65.00%, reflecting a moderate expectation that neither team will find the back of the net. This outcome would require AZ Alkmaar’s attack to be stifled and Ilves to maintain an unusually solid defensive performance throughout the match. Given AZ Alkmaar’s recent form and scoring record, this bet seems less favorable unless Ilves can significantly disrupt their rhythm.
