The hosts are also in significantly better current form, winning 4 of their last 5 matches overall with a 12:4 goal difference, while Always Ready have scored just 6 goals and recorded 2 wins during that period. However, Always Ready remain a challenging opponent, as they are unbeaten away from home, generate a higher average xG—1.78 compared with 1.59—and register 6 shots on target per match.

Always Ready has failed to score in 22% of matches, while the hosts keep a clean sheet in 44%; however, the visitors average 6.0 shots on target per match. The slight attacking quality advantage on both sides over the defensive concerns is limited, so the most likely scenario remains BTTS - Yes at 54%.
