Yantra 2019 vs Montana: match statistics

Montana sit 6th, while Yantra 2019 are only 16th, and the visitors remain unbeaten in their two matches this season (1 win and 1 draw). Yantra have lost both of their matches so far, scored just 1 goal and are yet to find the net at home, despite averaging 1.40 xG. Montana score an average of 2 goals away from home, register 4 shots on target per match and convert 22% of their attempts, with 0% of matches ending without scoring. The visitors also average 60% possession compared to the hosts’ 53%, which should help them dictate the tempo. Both defences concede 2 goals per match in their respective home and away fixtures, so a draw remains a realistic option, but Montana’s superior finishing makes them the more likely winners.

The BTTS - Yes pick is supported by the fact that both teams have recorded this outcome in 100% of their matches so far this season, while neither has kept a clean sheet. Yantra averages 3.0 goals at home, whereas Montana scores 2.0 away from home; the hosts concede an average of 1.0 goal, while the visitors allow 2.0. Current form is less conclusive, as BTTS has occurred in 60% of Yantra’s last five matches and 40% of Montana’s, but both teams continue to concede regularly: 1.4 and 1.6 goals per game, respectively. The xG figures also point to genuine chances at both ends, with Yantra creating opportunities worth 1.24 xG and Montana 0.98 xG, while their defences allow opponents 1.37 and 1.45 xG, respectively. The strength of the attacking and defensive indicators outweighs Montana’s weaker short-term run, providing a moderately stronger prediction that both sides will score at least one goal.

Yantra’s last five matches produced an average of 2.6 goals, with the team scoring 1.2 and conceding 1.4 goals per game, while Montana’s corresponding record stood at 1.0:1.6. The overall chance-quality indicators are moderate: Yantra have an xG of 1.24 and Montana 0.98, with xG conceded at 1.37 and 1.45, respectively. The projected total of 2.40 goals remains below the league average of 2.78, limiting the case for a very high-scoring game. In their last five matches, the 2.5-goal line was exceeded in 60% of Yantra’s games and 40% of Montana’s, making a 2:1 scoreline possible, but four goals are not the baseline scenario. Therefore, the strongest edge is on Under 3.5 goals, supported by a projection of no more than three goals and the weaker recent attacking output of both teams.

Yantra 2019 held a Half-Time lead in 3 of their last 5 matches, averaging 0.6 goals scored before the break and conceding none. Over the same period, Montana failed to lead at Half-Time in any match and were already trailing at the interval in 2 of their 5 games, conceding an average of 0.8 goals. The hosts won 40% of their recent matches compared with Montana’s 20%, while their goal statistics over this run support an attacking edge: 1.2 goals scored per match versus 1.0 for the visitors. After the break, however, Yantra remain vulnerable defensively, having conceded an average of 1.4 goals in their last five matches. Therefore, the HT/FT scenario of a draw at Half-Time followed by a home win also rates highly. Nevertheless, the strongest individual outcome is Yantra leading at the break and maintaining their advantage until Full-Time, in line with their clearly superior results during the first 45 minutes.
