With a prediction of 75.50%, the over 2.5 goals market suggests a strong likelihood of a high-scoring affair. Loughborough’s aggressive playstyle could see them capitalize on any defensive vulnerabilities in Burnley’s line-up, while Burnley may also respond with counter-attacks to equalize or take the lead.

Both Teams Not to Score

The odds for both teams not to score are set at 62.30%, reflecting the possibility of a tightly contested match where neither side manages to break the deadlock.

Over 3.5 Goals

The over 3.5 goals market is priced at 61.90%, suggesting that while not as likely as over 2.5 goals, there is still a reasonable chance of a goal-fest. If both teams play with an open style and commit forward players, this could lead to multiple goals being scored from both ends.
