Detailed Predictions
The odds suggest that both teams are expected to struggle offensively, particularly in the first half, with high probabilities of no goals being scored by either team during this period (98.70%). This defensive approach may carry into the second half as well, although there’s a slightly higher chance of some goals being scored (13% chance of at least one team scoring). The likelihood of the home team failing to score in the second half is significant at 74.80%, indicating potential vulnerabilities in their attacking lineup.
The betting markets favor a low-scoring match overall, with under 2.5 goals having strong support at 74%. This prediction aligns with the average total goals expected (2.80), suggesting a tight contest with few clear-cut chances for either side. The away team’s likelihood of scoring in the second half (54.70%) hints at a potential shift in momentum as the game progresses, possibly taking advantage of any fatigue or lapses in concentration from Messina.
In terms of individual halves, over half of the bets are placed on more than half a goal being scored in the first half (56.50%), indicating some belief in an early breakthrough or defensive errors leading to scoring opportunities.
The predicted average goals scored by Messina is slightly below their expected conceded goals (1.33 vs. 1.47), suggesting they might have to rely heavily on defensive discipline and counter-attacking strategies to secure any form of positive result.
