Given the statistical averages and betting odds, it is reasonable to anticipate a dynamic game where both teams will aim to capitalize on scoring opportunities, especially in the second half when both teams have a fair chance of netting goals (Away Team To Score In 2nd Half: 70.90%). The likelihood of both teams not scoring in the second half (66.50%) is lower than in the first half, hinting at increased offensive activity as the game progresses.
