Motor do score 1.5 goals per away game, but they concede as many as 2.5, with an xG against of 1.75. Korona’s advantage in controlling the game and their considerably more reliable defence point towards a narrow home win, although the hosts’ high draw rate increases the risk of a closely contested match.

Motor score an average of 1.5 goals per game and have also yet to record a match without scoring, with their average xG standing at a solid 1.53. In the last five matches, BTTS occurred for both teams in 60% of cases, with Motor conceding as many as 2.2 goals per match. Korona have defended better recently, averaging 0.8 goals conceded and recording 50% clean sheets across the season, which reduces confidence in the pick.

Motor concede an average of 2.5 goals per match and allowed 11 goals in their last five games, which clearly strengthens Korona’s attacking potential. At home, the hosts create chances worth an average of 2.00 xG and record 18 shots, including 6 on target, although their 6% conversion rate limits the projection of a very high-scoring game. Motor generate an average of 1.53 xG, while Korona allow opponents 1.32 xG, meaning the visitors also have solid grounds to score. At least two goals have been scored in 100% of Motor’s matches so far and in 80% of their last five fixtures, while the league average stands at 2.87 goals. The strongest signal is therefore Over 1.5: the projected 2.90 goals provide a significant margin above this line, even with Korona’s moderate finishing efficiency.
