View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal against BTTS - Yes comes from Estudiantes Mérida’s extremely poor current form: the team has failed to score in each of its last 5 matches, and BTTS did not occur in any of those games. The hosts do have a seasonal average of 1.29 goals and an xG of 1.52, but Zamora keeps a clean sheet in 43% of matches, conceding only 1.00 goal on average. The visitors are in good attacking form, having scored 10 goals in their last five appearances and averaging 2.0 goals, so they may decide the outcome on their own. Zamora has recorded BTTS in 80% of its last five matches, but this trend is mainly driven by their own efficiency, while Estudiantes have lost five consecutive games and conceded an average of 1.4 goals. With 29% of both teams’ matches this season ending with at least one side failing to score, the most likely scenario is BTTS - No, primarily because the hosts are expected to draw a blank.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest signal points to Under 3.5 goals: over the entire season, this outcome occurred in 86% of Estudiantes Mérida’s matches and in all of Zamora’s games. Both teams go Over 2.5 goals in only 43% of matches, compared with the league average of 44%, indicating a match profile closer to two goals than an open, high-scoring game. Estudiantes is also in very poor offensive form, having failed to score in its last five matches, none of which went Over 2.5 goals. Zamora has recently averaged 2.0 goals per game, but its season average is only 1.0, while the hosts may limit the overall score despite their poor run. The estimated total of 1.90 goals leaves a clear safety margin for an Under 3.5 goals bet.

The most likely HT/FT outcome is a draw at half-time and a Zamora win at full-time, as Estudiantes Mérida have collected 0 points, scored 0 goals, and lost all 5 of their last matches.
