Match Result Analysis
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half
The prediction of 98.80 for both teams not to score in the first half is backed by statistical evidence of recent defensive performances. Metković’s home record shows an average of 0.8 goals conceded per match in the first half, while Opuzen’s away form indicates they typically concede less than one goal in the opening 45 minutes. This suggests a cautious start from both teams, focusing on absorbing pressure rather than taking risks early on.
Home Team To Win
With a probability of 60.20, Metković emerging victorious is a strong possibility given their home advantage and recent form. Their average of 1.72 goals scored per match at home further supports this prediction. However, it’s crucial to note that Opuzen’s away resilience could mean the match remains competitive throughout, potentially affecting the outright win odds.
Goals Market Assessment
Over 1.5 Goals
The over 1.5 goals market is priced at 73.40, reflecting the potential for an open game despite strong defenses. Historical data shows that when these teams meet, there is often a tendency towards higher-scoring games, with an average total of 3.55 goals in recent encounters. This suggests that while defenses may hold firm initially, the likelihood of goals increases as the game progresses.
Under 2.5 Goals
The under 2.5 goals market at 55.80 aligns with the defensive trends observed in both teams’ recent performances. Given Metković’s average of 1.43 goals conceded and Opuzen’s similar defensive record, it is reasonable to predict a low-scoring affair. The tactical approach from both managers will likely focus on maintaining shape and exploiting set-piece opportunities rather than open play.
Sum of Goals 2 or 3
The prediction for the sum of goals being 2 or 3 at 57.30 is supported by statistical trends showing that matches between these two teams often result in moderate scoring outcomes. The average total goals figure of 3.55 suggests that while there is potential for more goals, it is equally likely that the match will settle within this range, reflecting balanced attacking and defensive efforts.
