Match description

I expect a draw because the statistics point to a strong tendency for shared points: Novara have as many as 53% draws at home, while Lumezzane record 41% draws away. The hosts, however, have the edge in quality of play — Novara’s average home xG is 1.52 versus the visitors’ 1.28 away xG, more shots (12.35 vs 9.53) and more shots on target (4.24 vs 3.47). Novara’s attack scores on average 1.18 goals at home, whereas Lumezzane score 0.88 goals away on average, and Novara finish without a goal less often (29% vs 35%). Defensively, Lumezzane have a higher clean sheet rate on the road (41% vs 29%), but they also concede more expected goals (average xG against 1.67 vs 1.09), which keeps the match at risk of goals. Considering form over the last 5 matches (Novara 1.6 pts/match vs Lumezzane 1.2 pts/match) and the ratios noted above, I assess the probabilities as: draw 45%, home win 35%, away win 20%.
