The likelihood of goals being scored after the first half (over 0.5 goals HT at odds of 67.70) indicates potential shifts in momentum once players are fully warmed up and strategies have been adjusted.
The prediction for under two and a half goals (54.20) suggests that while there may be moments of attacking flair, overall goal-scoring will likely remain limited.
The betting market also indicates a possibility for early scoring (first goal after more than thirty minutes at odds of 56.10), which might result from strategic plays rather than early aggressive attacks.
