Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half
The odds of 97.90 for both teams not scoring in the first half are intriguing, given the tactical setups of both sides. Preston’s disciplined defense and Charlton’s initial caution could lead to a scoreless opening period. This bet is bolstered by the average of 1.50 goals scored by each team across their last five matches, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring encounters early on.
Under 2.5 Goals
The under 2.5 goals market at 61.80 reflects the defensive capabilities of both teams. With Preston conceding an average of 2.28 goals per game and Charlton scoring just 1.50 goals per game, this bet is statistically sound. The likelihood of a tightly contested match further supports this prediction.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half
Preston’s ability to score early is highlighted by the odds of 75.00 for them to find the net in the first half. Their recent form shows an average of 0.60 goals scored in the first half of home games, suggesting they could capitalize on home advantage and set the tone for the match.
Goals Market Assessment
The goals market offers several interesting angles based on recent trends and historical data. The interplay between Preston’s defensive solidity and Charlton’s attacking intent will be crucial in determining the flow and outcome of the game.
Last Goal 73+ Minutes
The odds of 60.20 for the last goal being scored after the 73rd minute align with both teams’ tendencies to either hold onto a lead or mount late attacks. Charlton’s pressing style often results in late-game opportunities, while Preston’s defensive discipline could see them withstand pressure until the final stages.
Goal In Last 15 Minutes
With odds of 62.00 for a goal in the last 15 minutes, this bet is supported by Charlton’s pattern of increasing intensity as games progress. Their recent matches have seen goals scored in the closing minutes, making this a viable option for those looking to capitalize on late-game drama.
Cards Market Analysis
The cards market provides insight into the expected physicality and discipline of this fixture. Both teams have shown tendencies towards caution, which could influence betting decisions.
Under 5.5 Cards
The under 5.5 cards market at 87.70 is compelling given both teams’ recent disciplinary records. With an average of just over three cards per game combined, this bet reflects the likelihood of controlled aggression rather than reckless fouls.
