Although Žilina’s away record has produced BTTS - Yes in 80% of their last five matches, the significantly stronger signal is Trnava’s rate of just 20% in such games, combined with their near-perfect defensive record. Therefore, the more likely scenario is BTTS - No, meaning that at least one team will fail to score. This does not automatically imply a 0:0 result or that neither team will score.
