The over/under goals predictions reflect a cautious approach by both teams, with the potential for goals being balanced by a strong emphasis on defense.

The card predictions highlight potential disciplinary issues that may arise during the match, possibly due to aggressive play or contentious decisions by referees, leading to a higher number of cautions and potentially a red card.
