Over their last five matches, both teams have scored and conceded an average of 1.0 goal, while Over 2.5 goals landed in 40% and 20% of those matches, respectively. A forecast of 2.4 total goals therefore points more clearly to the 3.5 line than to the riskier Under 2.5 goals pick.

Pescara have more often been level at half-time at home— in three of their five matches—so a draw after 45 minutes remains a significant alternative.

Across full matches, Pescara average 1.4 goals scored and 0.4 conceded at home, while Nuova Monterosi average 1.0 scored and 1.67 conceded away, supporting the HT/FT pick of the hosts leading at the break and winning at full-time.
