Additional Expert Predictions
The high probability of both teams not scoring in either half indicates a likely defensive strategy from both sides, especially given the pressure of international competition and the stakes involved for Lesotho in terms of ranking improvement.
The prediction of over 1.5 goals suggests that while defenses may be strong, there is an expectation of at least one breakthrough from either side, possibly in the latter stages of the game as fatigue sets in.
The average total goals predicted at approximately three indicates that despite cautious play, goals are anticipated to come from set pieces or counter-attacks, areas where both teams have shown vulnerability in past matches.
The likelihood of the home team winning at odds of around 51.70 reflects Benin’s historical advantage and current form, although Lesotho’s potential to disrupt this trend should not be underestimated.
