Match Result Analysis

Home Team To Win

The prediction for the home team to win stands at 61.10%. AFC Wimbledon’s home advantage and recent form suggest they are well-positioned to secure a victory. The team’s defensive solidity is likely to frustrate Port Vale’s attack, while their ability to capitalize on counter-attacks could prove decisive. Given Port Vale’s struggles on the road, the confidence level in this prediction is moderate to high.

Both Teams Not to Score

This bet is priced at 67.70%, reflecting a strong possibility given both teams’ tendencies. Wimbledon’s defense has been impressive, conceding fewer goals than many of their opponents, while Port Vale’s attack has not been prolific away from home. The likelihood of a low-scoring game is further supported by the average total goals statistic of 3.30, indicating that games involving these teams tend to be tight and competitive.

Over 1.5 Goals

With a probability of 72.00%, this market suggests that at least two goals are likely to be scored during the match. Despite the defensive strengths of both teams, historical data shows an average total of 3.30 goals per game in similar fixtures. This indicates that while low-scoring games are possible, there is also a significant chance of seeing more goals.

Goals Market Assessment

Sum of Goals 2 or 3

The likelihood of the match ending with a total of 2 or 3 goals is estimated at 69.10%. This aligns with the average total goals statistic and reflects the balance between both teams’ defensive capabilities and occasional offensive lapses. The probability here is moderate, considering both teams’ recent performances.

Under 2.5 Goals

This market is priced at 69.10%, suggesting that fewer than three goals might be scored. Given the defensive discipline of AFC Wimbledon and the offensive struggles of Port Vale, especially on their travels, this outcome is plausible. The statistical evidence supports this as a viable option for bettors looking for a low-scoring game.

Cards Market Analysis

Under 5.5 Cards

The probability for under 5.5 cards stands at 79.50%, indicating that discipline will likely be maintained throughout the match. Both teams have shown a tendency towards fewer bookings in recent fixtures, which supports this prediction. The average yellow cards statistic further reinforces the expectation of disciplined play.

Under 4.5 Cards

This bet is valued at 63.00%, suggesting that fewer than five cards are likely to be issued during the game. Considering both teams’ recent disciplinary records and the potential for strategic fouling to disrupt play, this outcome is plausible but slightly less likely than under 5.5 cards.

Specific Predictions
