Halkanoras conceded just 1 goal during this period, averaging 0.2 per match, while their average xG against is only 0.69.

Iraklis Yerolakkou scored an average of 0.8 goals during this period, while their average xG is only 0.50, limiting the visitors’ expected goal output. The hosts are in better offensive form, averaging 1.4 goals with an xG of 1.25, but their opponents allowed chances worth an average of 0.90 xG, so a high-scoring game should not be expected. Over 2.5 goals landed in only 40% of Halkanoras’ recent matches and 20% of Iraklis’ games, while both teams had goals scored by both sides in just 20% of their matches. The projected total of 1.60 goals gives the strongest edge to Under 3.5 goals, as losing this bet would require at least 4 goals despite the visitors’ low attacking output and the hosts’ very tight defense.
