BTTS occurred in only 20% of FAS’s recent matches and 33% of Atletico Balboa’s, well below the league average of 56%. Although Atletico Balboa have not kept a clean sheet in their away matches, their poor attacking efficiency against the FAS defense supports BTTS - No.

Atletico Balboa have scored just 0.67 goals per game in their recent fixtures, while their xG stood at 1.09, limiting the prospects of a high-scoring contribution from the visitors. The hosts could generate around 1.65 goals, but their solid defense and Balboa’s low scoring output reduce the visitors’ projection to 0.70 goals. The Under 3.5 line has the edge, as the model’s projected total of 2.35 goals remains well below four, while only 20% of FAS’s recent matches saw both teams score.
