Over 1.5 Goals (83.40)
Given the attacking capabilities of both teams, especially Benin’s counter-attacking prowess, there is a strong likelihood of more than 1.5 goals being scored in this match. Both teams have had recent games where they’ve managed to breach defenses, indicating that an open game could lead to multiple goals.
Both Teams Not to Score (56.20)
The odds for neither team scoring are relatively high, suggesting that defensive strategies might play a crucial role. Burkina Faso’s solid backline could potentially keep Benin’s forwards at bay, while Benin might struggle to penetrate Burkina Faso’s defense. This scenario is plausible given both teams’ occasional lapses in maintaining offensive pressure throughout the game.
Away Team Not To Score In 1st Half (54.10)
Burkina Faso, playing away, might find it challenging to score in the first half due to the home advantage Benin enjoys. The initial phase of the match could see Benin asserting dominance and setting the tone, making it difficult for Burkina Faso to find opportunities early on.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half (58.50)
With Benin playing at home, there is a good chance they will capitalize on the support of their fans and the familiarity with the pitch to score early. This could set a positive momentum for them and potentially disrupt Burkina Faso’s game plan from the outset.
Under 2.5 Goals (56.00)
Considering both teams’ defensive capabilities and the potential for strategic play rather than outright attacking football, it is reasonable to predict that the total goals scored in this match might stay under 2.5. This aligns with the cautious approach both teams might adopt to secure a favorable result.
