With a high likelihood of both teams not scoring in the first half (97.50%) and even higher in the second half (98.00%), it suggests a defensive start from both sides. However, the home team to win odds at 75.20% indicate a potential shift in momentum as the game progresses. The over 1.5 goals market at 74.80% and over 2.5 goals at 64.70% suggest that while the match may start defensively, there is an expectation of increased activity in the latter stages.

The probability of both teams scoring is slightly lower at 56.80%, but still significant, suggesting that both teams have the capability to break through defenses when opportunities arise.

The over 3.5 goals market at 54.70% indicates that a high-scoring game is within the realm of possibility, aligning with the average total goals expected (4.35). This further supports the notion that while the match may begin cautiously, it could end with multiple goals being scored by both teams.
