General match analysis

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. Colombia has more creativity and a better positional attack structure, but Ghana is one of the most awkward opponents in the tournament. Ghana knows how to suffer without the ball, close the middle and keep the opponent in the half-chance zone. Typ goes towards Colombia, but a draw after 90 minutes is very real. Our prediction is 40% for Colombia, 34% for draw and 26% for Ghana. Most likely exact score: 1-0. Promotion: Colombia (57% vs 43%). Status: NOBET

BTTS - will both teams score?

Typ BTTS: no. Colombia has more creativity and a better positional attack structure, but Ghana is one of the most awkward opponents in the tournament. Ghana knows how to suffer without the ball, close the middle and keep the opponent in the half-chance zone. Typ goes towards Colombia, but a draw after 90 minutes is very real. Control of one side and the limited volume of underdog situations are more important here, so it is more likely that at least one team will finish the match without a goal. The model gives 39% on BTTS Yes and 61% on BTTS No, with expected goals Colombia 1.25, Ghana 0.80. Status: BET

Over/Under - goals analysis

Typ: under 2.5. Colombia has more creativity and a better positional attack structure, but Ghana is one of the most awkward opponents in the tournament. Ghana knows how to suffer without the ball, close the middle and keep the opponent in the half-chance zone. Typ goes towards Colombia, but a draw after 90 minutes is very real. The gate model gives 34% on Over 2.5 and 66% on Under 2.5. xG: Colombia 1.25, Ghana 0.80, total 2.05. Most likely result: 1-0. Line 2.5 separates a controlled match from an open match. In this pair, the underlying score and the need for caution after conceding a goal for the first time are more important than the teams' branding itself. Status: BET

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Typ HT/FT: X/X. Colombia has more creativity and a better positional attack structure, but Ghana is one of the most awkward opponents in the tournament. Ghana knows how to suffer without the ball, close the middle and keep the opponent in the half-chance zone. Typ goes towards Colombia, but a draw after 90 minutes is very real. We assume a cautious start and the outcome only after one side increases the risk or the favorite finds more space. The highest model paths were X/X 26%, 1/1 21% and X/1 17%. The HT/FT spread is calibrated to our 1X2 40%-34%-26% and does not use odds. Status: SMALL BET
