Over 1.5 Goals
The odds for Over 1.5 Goals are set at 88.30, indicating a relatively high likelihood of at least two goals being scored during the match. Given both teams’ tendency to engage in open play and the historical frequency of matches exceeding this goal threshold, this bet appears favorable. Both Silsden and Pontefract Collieries have shown vulnerability at the back in previous fixtures, which could lead to a more open game with multiple goals.
Both Teams Not to Score
With odds at 73.80 for Both Teams Not to Score, this outcome seems less probable given the historical data and current team dynamics. While defensive strategies might be employed by both sides to secure a point, the attacking inclinations and occasional lapses in defense suggest that a clean sheet scenario is less likely. This market may not be the most advantageous for bettors looking for value.
Under 2.5 Goals
The Under 2.5 Goals market is priced at 63.60, reflecting a moderate expectation of a low-scoring affair. Considering both teams’ defensive capabilities and potential tactical approaches to secure a draw or narrow victory, this bet holds some appeal. However, the propensity for both teams to concede goals when under pressure could counterbalance this tendency towards fewer goals.
