The statistical evidence supports this prediction; given both teams’ average goal statistics and recent performances where they’ve both scored in several matches.
Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half
This specific bet is priced at 61.80 and reflects a nuanced understanding of game dynamics where defensive adjustments often occur after halftime by visiting teams aiming to secure points or prevent further goals.
Zulte-Waregem might adopt a more conservative approach in the second half if leading or drawing at halftime, making this prediction plausible based on historical patterns observed in similar fixtures.
Goals Market Assessment
Over 0.5 Goals HT
The first-half goal market is priced at 71.80 for over 0.5 goals being scored during HT (half-time). Given OH Leuven’s strong start tendencies at home games and Zulte-Waregem’s initial push when playing away from home, it’s likely that we’ll see early goals from either side.
This prediction aligns well with statistical trends showing both teams scoring within the first half across several past matches.

Expert Prediction: Over 2 Goals Likely
Basing our prediction on current trends and statistical averages (with an expected total of around three goals), there’s significant confidence that we’ll witness over two goals being scored during this fixture – offering value beyond its implied probability within respective markets like ‘over/under’ totals or individual team scores.
Card Markets Insight: Under Cards Prediction
The under cards market (70%) appears favorable considering recent disciplinary records which suggest neither team tends toward excessive bookings or dismissals compared to league averages; thus making it safer than opting into higher card totals predictions like ‘over four-and-a-half cards.’ This insight aligns well with strategic gameplay approaches aimed at minimizing risks associated with yellow/red cards impacting team line-ups mid-game or post-match suspensions affecting future fixtures negatively impacting morale or performance levels overall!
