View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The BTTS pick is primarily supported by current form, as both teams have scored at both ends in 80% of their last 5 matches. During this period, Leevon / PPK averaged 1.8 goals scored, while Smiltene averaged 1.6, alongside the visitors’ high average of 2.4 goals conceded. Throughout the season, the hosts have allowed opponents 2.63 goals per match and recorded an average xG against of 1.97, clearly increasing Smiltene’s chances of finding the net despite their seasonal average of just 0.88 goals scored. Meanwhile, Smiltene have kept no clean sheets and conceded an average of 2.75 goals, so the hosts, with an xG of 1.38 and 4.88 shots on target per match, should find a way through. The seasonal BTTS rates stand at 63% for Leevon / PPK and 50% for Smiltene, while the recent form of both teams shifts the prediction towards a scenario with goals at both ends.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The profile of this match points towards goals, as Leevon / PPK concede an average of 2.63 goals per game, while Smiltene concede as many as 2.75, with the visitors yet to keep a single clean sheet. In their last five matches, both teams recorded at least three goals in 80% of games, while their average goals scored stood at 1.8 and 1.6, respectively. Their attacking potential is further supported by the xG figures from the last five matches: 1.66 for the home side and 1.44 for the visitors, supporting a forecast of 3.20 total goals. Over 1.5 goals is the strongest pick, as at least two goals were scored in 75% of Leevon / PPK matches and 88% of Smiltene matches this season.

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

The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a Leevon / PPK win in the match, as the hosts were level at the break in 3 of their last 5 games and then scored an average of 1.0 goal after half-time. Current form clearly favours the hosts: they have won 4 of their last 5 matches and averaged 1.8 goals per game over that period, while Smiltene lost 3 of their 5 outings and conceded an average of 2.4 goals. Leevon / PPK also have the better second-half record across their last five matches, conceding an average of 0.4 goals compared with 1.2 for the visitors. An initially cautious approach is likely, as both teams have led at the break in only 13% of their matches this season, but the hosts’ advantage should grow after the restart.
