General match analysis
União Santarém have a slight home advantage: in their only home match so far, they drew, scored 1 goal and recorded an xG of 1.20, while allowing just 0.60 xG to their opponents. Caldas lost their only away fixture, failed to score, and have been unable to find the net in every match played away from home. The hosts create more chances, averaging 11 shots and 3 on target compared with Caldas’ 7 attempts and 2 on target, while also enjoying more possession (51% to 40%). Both teams are in poor form, but União Santarém have scored 3 goals in their last five matches, whereas the visitors have managed just 4 and lost as many as 4 of those games. The low finishing efficiency of both sides will be crucial, making a draw a realistic outcome; however, the hosts’ superior control of the game and Caldas’ weaker away attack point towards a home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Caldas’ attacking output: the team has not scored a goal this season, averages 0.0 goals per match, and has failed to convert any scoring chance. In their last five matches, the visitors scored just 0.8 goals per game, while their xG stood at 1.07, which provides no strong indication that they will consistently find the net away from home. União Santarém do concede an average of 2.0 goals, but they have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their matches, while Caldas have failed to score in 100% of their appearances so far. União’s BTTS rate is 50%, but Caldas’ stands at 0%, clearly below the league average of 47%. União’s poor recent attacking form, with just 0.6 goals per match across their last five fixtures, further increases the likelihood of a result in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The match profile points to a moderate number of goals: the total forecast is 2.35 goals, clearly below the 3.5 line. União Santarém have scored just 0.6 goals per match in their last five games, while Caldas have averaged 0.8, despite both teams conceding 2.2 and 2.0 goals respectively. However, the attacking potential is not particularly high, as the average xG over the last five matches stands at only 1.05 for the hosts and 1.07 for the visitors, while Caldas have failed to score in any of their away matches so far. Over 2.5 landed in 40% of União Santarém’s last five matches and 60% of Caldas’, but the 3.5 line offers a greater margin of safety given the low attacking efficiency of both sides.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal is a draw at half-time: both teams were level after 45 minutes in 60% of their last five matches, and neither side led at the break on any occasion. União Santarém averaged just 0.2 goals before half-time, while Caldas averaged 0.4, supporting a cautious, low-scoring opening. Over the full match, the home side’s advantage is not pronounced enough to rule out a share of the points, as they have failed to win any of their last five matches, scoring 0.6 goals and conceding 2.2 per game. Caldas have also failed to secure a victory and lost 80% of their recent matches, but the hosts have an xG of only 1.25 against the 1.93 xG conceded by their opponents; therefore, a draw remains the most likely final outcome.
