The prediction for ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ stands at just over the break-even point at 54.70, suggesting a slight inclination towards a higher-scoring game than the average total goals indicate (3.93). This could be influenced by the attacking capabilities of both teams or potential defensive weaknesses.

The home team winning is slightly favored at odds of just above even money (55.00), which may reflect confidence in their home advantage or recent form.
