View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Cardiff MU score an average of 1.71 goals per match, while Penybont average 2.17, giving both teams a solid basis for finding the net. The case for BTTS - Yes is also supported by the fact that the hosts failed to score in only 14% of their matches, compared with 17% for the visitors. Across their last five matches, the teams averaged 1.8 and 2.6 goals respectively, although BTTS landed in 40% of Cardiff MU's matches and 80% of Penybont's during that period. The visitors' defense does concede an average of just 0.83 goals and keeps a clean sheet in 33% of matches, which tempers confidence in the prediction, but the stronger attacking indicators point to BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Cardiff MU score an average of 1.71 goals per match, while Penybont average 2.17, supporting at least two goals despite both teams' solid defenses. The case for Over 1.5 goals is further supported by this line being cleared in 71% of Cardiff's matches and 67% of Penybont's. Over their last five matches, the teams scored 1.8 and 2.6 goals per game respectively, although their average xG figures were lower, at 1.61 and 1.91. Over 2.5 goals has less support in the data, as both teams concede fewer than one goal per match on average this season: Cardiff 0.86 and Penybont 0.83. Therefore, with a projected total of 2.85 goals, Over 1.5 offers a clearer signal than the higher lines.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Penybont have stronger attacking numbers, averaging 2.17 goals compared with Cardiff MU’s 1.71, while their xG stands at 1.75 against the hosts’ 1.24. The visitors average 1.5 goals before half-time and have not trailed at the break in any of the six away matches analyzed, giving grounds to back them to lead at the break. Their 67% away win rate and four victories in their last five matches overall also support the prospect of them maintaining their advantage. The risk is nevertheless considerable: Cardiff MU led at half-time in 5 of their 7 home matches and have not lost at home, so 1/1 and X/2 remain close alternatives. Despite these caveats, Penybont’s advantage in shots on target—6.5 to 4.0 per match—makes a half-time lead for the visitors followed by a full-time win the single most likely outcome.
