At least two goals were scored in 64% of KA’s matches and 75% of Thór’s, with the league average as high as 3.87 goals. The strongest selection is Over 1.5 goals, as even in a more cautious scenario, the weak defenses and high league scoring rate significantly reduce the risk of a match ending with no more than one goal.

KA have the clearer potential to take the lead before the break: Thór concede an average of 1.33 goals in the first half, while the hosts score 0.45 during that period. The visitors were trailing at half-time in 8 of 12 matches, or 67% of the time, and led only once, reinforcing the scenario of KA holding the advantage in the first half.

Nevertheless, the strongest individual signal is KA leading at the break and maintaining that lead through to the end of the match.
