Detailed Predictions

The cautious approach in the first half is reflected in the high probability of neither team scoring (83.70%). This could be due to strategic play, with both teams focusing on defense before making their offensive moves as the game progresses into the second half.

The significant probability for ‘Over 1.5 Goals’ at 61.90% and ‘Over 0.5 Goals HT’ at 60.70% suggests that despite initial defensive tactics, the match might open up with more scoring opportunities as time progresses.

The predicted average total goals of 3.05 aligns with the betting markets’ leaning towards a relatively open game, with ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ standing at a lower probability of just below even chance (58.50%). This implies that while caution may dominate early play, both teams are likely to push for goals later.

The card predictions (‘Over 4.5 Cards’ at 57.60%) indicate a potentially aggressive match, possibly reflecting intense competition or physicality between the teams.

In terms of disciplinary actions, an average of three yellow cards and about one red card suggests that while there may be some heated moments, outright dismissals are not expected to be frequent.

São Paulo’s historical performance and current form will be crucial in determining whether they can capitalize on Fortaleza’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in the second half when both teams are less likely to remain scoreless (77% chance).

Fortaleza will need to maintain their defensive discipline while looking for opportunities to exploit São Paulo’s potential lapses in concentration as fatigue sets in later in the game.

In conclusion, while both teams may start cautiously, expect an increase in attacking play as they look to secure points, potentially leading to a lively second half with multiple goals and cards.
