The probability of both teams not scoring in the second half is slightly lower than in the first half (69.30%), suggesting a potential shift in momentum as the match progresses. The odds for over 1.5 goals (74%) indicate an expectation of a competitive game with at least a couple of goals, despite initial defensive postures.
The prediction for a sum of goals being either two or three (66.20%) aligns with the expected competitive nature of the match, where both teams are likely to find the net at least once, potentially twice or thrice.
The likelihood of over four and a half cards (65.50%) suggests a physically intense match, possibly reflecting aggressive play or tight marking strategies.
The odds for the last goal occurring after the 73rd minute (56.30%) hint at a possible late-game surge from either team, indicating that decisive moments may come towards the end of the match.
The prediction for an away team victory (58.30%) gives an edge to Schalke 04, perhaps reflecting their recent form or home advantage for Düsseldorf being less impactful.
The forecast for yellow cards (3.10) and under five and a half cards (56.60%) suggest moderate discipline levels on both sides, with neither team expected to incur excessive cautions.
