BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest signal points to Arbroath failing to score: away from home, they average 0.4 goals and have been kept scoreless in 80% of matches. Inverness concede an average of 0.8 goals at home and keep a clean sheet in 40% of games, further limiting the visitors’ chances. In their last 5 matches, Arbroath scored just 3 goals, with an average xG of 0.70 compared with the 0.96 xG conceded by Inverness. The hosts are more likely to find the net, having averaged 1.8 goals in their last 5 matches, while Arbroath conceded 2.2. BTTS - No is therefore more likely, meaning at least one team will fail to score—not necessarily that the match will end in a 0-0 draw.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Inverness have averaged 1.8 goals in their last 5 matches, while Arbroath have conceded 2.2 goals over the same period, giving the hosts a clear chance to find the net. The visitors’ scoring potential is limited, however: they have averaged 0.6 goals across their last 5 matches and failed to score in 80% of the games covered by the statistics. The case for Under 3.5 goals is also supported by the fact that this line was not exceeded in any of Inverness’s matches and in only 20% of Arbroath’s. With projected totals of 1.75 goals for the hosts and 0.60 for the visitors, a match with no more than 3 goals is the most likely outcome, despite Arbroath’s poor defensive record.

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

The most likely HT/FT outcome is Inverness CT leading at the break and holding on to win, as Arbroath were behind at half-time in 4 of the 5 matches analysed, conceding an average of 1.4 goals before the break. The hosts led at half-time in 3 of their last 5 matches overall, although in home games they did so only once in 5, making a half-time draw a significant alternative. Inverness’s recent record also supports a full-time win: they won 3 of their last 5 matches, while Arbroath lost 4. At home, Inverness concede an average of 0.8 goals per match, whereas Arbroath score 0.4 and concede 2.2 goals per away match. In addition, Inverness won the second half in 60% of their last 5 matches, while Arbroath failed to win any, reinforcing the scenario in which Inverness maintain their lead.
