Under 5.5 Goals: 90.60
Given the defensive prowess of Izhstal Izhevsk and the strategic playstyle of SKA Neva, a low-scoring match is highly probable. Izhstal’s ability to control the game tempo and limit scoring opportunities aligns well with the odds for under 5.5 goals. Additionally, SKA Neva’s recent focus on defensive improvements further supports this prediction. Historically, matches involving these teams often result in fewer goals, making this a reliable bet.
Under 4.5 Goals: 81.00
The odds for under 4.5 goals are even more compelling when considering the defensive strategies employed by both teams. Izhstal Izhevsk’s recent matches have consistently seen them conceding fewer than four goals, while SKA Neva has been working on tightening their defense to prevent high-scoring games. This trend suggests that the match could see even fewer goals than anticipated in the under 5.5 market, making under 4.5 goals a strong contender for bettors.
Under 1.5 Goals in 1P: 77.00
The first period often sets the tone for the game, and with both teams prioritizing defense, it is likely to be particularly tight early on. Izhstal Izhevsk’s ability to start games strongly and SKA Neva’s focus on minimizing early mistakes suggest that the first period could see minimal scoring. The odds for under 1.5 goals in the first period are supported by recent trends where both teams have managed to keep their opponents scoreless or limited to just one goal in initial periods.
Highest Scoring Period: 1.70
While the overall expectation is for a low-scoring game, identifying the highest scoring period can provide valuable insight for bettors. Historically, both teams tend to open up more in the second period as they adjust to their opponents’ strategies and find gaps in defense. This pattern suggests that the second period is likely to be the highest scoring, offering a favorable betting opportunity despite the overall low goal expectation.
