• Over 1.5 Goals (79.60): A higher probability exists for the match to exceed 1.5 goals, aligning with the average goal expectation of 2.35, suggesting at least one team may capitalize on scoring opportunities.
• Sum of Goals 2 or 3 (65.10): With average goals around 2.35, a total score of exactly 2 or 3 goals seems appealing and likely, given each team’s scoring tendencies.
