Goals Market Analysis

• Over/Under 2.5 Goals:
  The probability of Under 2.5 Goals stands at 61.50%, signaling a high chance of a low-scoring affair. The Over 1.5 Goals projection (60.70%) does hint at at least a couple of goals, but anything above that becomes fairly unlikely. Considering the average total goals (3.48), one could infer that while recent matches may have seen volatility, the defensive records here supersede historical trends for this matchup.
• Sum of Goals 2 or 3:
  At 53.40%, there is moderate confidence that the total number of goals will fall in the 2-3 range, aligning well with the broader under 2.5 forecast.
• Avg. Goals Scored/Conceded:
  Les Astres and Bamboutos average 0.96 and 1.31 goals conceded respectively, which corroborates the expectation of limited offensive productivity from both sides.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) and Half Markets

• Both Teams Not To Score:
  With a probability of 52.20%, a shutout for at least one side is just more likely than both teams hitting the net. This is reinforced by even higher probabilities for failure to score in individual halves: 87.60% (1st Half) and 87.30% (2nd Half).
• Home/Away Team Not to Score by Half:
  Les Astres have a 66.30% probability not to score in the 1st half, while Bamboutos come in at 68.00% for not scoring in the 2nd half.
