Match Result Analysis

Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half: 88.00

This bet reflects a cautious approach from both teams’ strategies at the start of the game. Given AD Ceuta FC’s defensive struggles and Almería’s tendency to capitalize on early opportunities, it might seem counterintuitive at first glance. However, considering that both teams may adopt a more conservative approach initially—AD Ceuta aiming to absorb pressure and Almería looking for gaps—the likelihood of no goals in the first half appears high.

Over 0.5 Goals HT: 83.80

This market suggests that there will be some scoring before halftime. Given Almería’s attacking form and AD Ceuta’s defensive issues, it is reasonable to expect at least one goal by halftime. Statistical evidence supports this prediction; both teams have shown tendencies towards scoring within the first 45 minutes in recent matches.

Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half: 67.50

The second half often sees shifts in momentum as managers make tactical adjustments based on the first-half performance. Considering that AD Ceuta might tighten their defense after conceding early goals and Almería may focus on maintaining their lead rather than pushing aggressively for more goals, this bet holds potential merit.

Under 2.5 Goals: 64.20

This bet aligns with expectations that while there will be goals scored, they will not exceed two or three in total for the match duration. Both teams’ historical data indicates a tendency towards fewer goals per match when analyzed collectively over recent games.

Goals Market Assessment

Last Goal Minute 0-72: 60.60

Despite AD Ceuta’s defensive woes, there remains a possibility they could score early if they manage to exploit any initial weaknesses or mistakes by Almería’s backline.

Home Team Not To Score In 2nd Half: 59.00

If AD Ceuta scores early but fails to maintain offensive pressure later in the match due to fatigue or strategic adjustments by Almería, it reinforces this prediction.

This option seems less likely given both teams’ recent performances indicating higher goal-scoring tendencies rather than complete shutouts throughout matches.

Avg Total Goals & Cards Predictions:

• Avg Total Goals: The expected average number of total goals for this encounter stands around 2-3, aligning closely with previous matches involving these two sides where results typically feature moderate scoring activity but not excessively high tally counts either way. 
• Avg Goals Scored/Conceded: Almeria averages about 1-1½ (goals scored) while conceding slightly less (<1½ ) per fixture lately which bodes well for them maintaining some control over proceedings without being overly exposed defensively against opponents like Ad ceuta who generally concede around >1½ (goals) consistently too recently. 

• Avg Red Cards: Considering disciplinary trends noted above alongside historical data showing relatively low instances (e.g., ~1 red card per ten games), we predict approximately ‘one red card’.

• Away Team Scoring & Yellow Cards: ‘Almeria likely scores again post-halftime,’ further supported by statistics suggesting higher frequency (e.g., ~57%) ; meanwhile yellow cards tend towards slightly elevated figures (~‘three yellow cards’) due partly attributed aggressive gameplay styles employed tactically during such fixtures. 

• Cards Totals: ‘Under five-and-a-half cards’, given past encounters usually do not exceed beyond moderate totals (~‘five yellow cards’) ; however cautious management might still result marginally below threshold limits expected here (e.g., <‘6 cards’).
