View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

It is more likely that at least one team will fail to score, although this scenario has only a slight edge. Marsaxlokk average 0.67 goals with an xG of 0.68, while Zabbar St. Patrick average 1.00 goal with an xG of 0.97, so both teams have modest attacking output. The visitors have scored an average of just 0.6 goals in their last 5 matches, compared with 2.0 goals for the hosts, pointing primarily to the risk of Zabbar failing to score. However, the signal is not clear-cut: in those same 5 matches, both teams scored in 80% of Marsaxlokk's games and 40% of Zabbar's. The season figures are 33% and 67%, respectively, so BTTS - No has a moderate rather than decisive edge.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Marsaxlokk average 0.67 goals at home, while Zabbar St. Patrick score 1.00 away, pointing to a moderate goal total. The teams’ xG figures are 0.68 and 0.97 respectively, although their defenses allow opponents chances worth 1.39 and 1.27 xG. Over their last five matches, Marsaxlokk averaged 2.0 goals, but Zabbar managed only 0.6, so the hosts’ uptick is not enough to suggest a clearly high-scoring game. Under 3.5 goals landed in 100% of Marsaxlokk’s home matches and 67% of Zabbar’s away games; with 2.2 goals projected, this is the strongest signal among the lines considered.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest signal points to Marsaxlokk leading at the break and maintaining their advantage: in their last five matches, the hosts led at half-time three times, while the visitors did not lead once. Over this period, Marsaxlokk averaged 1.6 goals before the break, whereas Zabbar scored just 0.2 goals on average and failed to score before half-time in four of their five matches. The hosts’ recent form also supports a home win: they won three of their last five matches and averaged 2.0 goals, compared with one win and an average of 0.6 goals for the visitors. However, the 1/1 pick is not a certainty, as Marsaxlokk’s season xG stands at 0.68 compared with Zabbar’s 0.97, and the hosts have won only one of their three matches so far this season.
