Under 2.5 Goals Predictions

Both of Morocco’s group matches have finished under 2.5 goals, while Zambia have conceded just once in the tournament so far. Under 2.5 goals have also been the outcome in two of the last four head-to-head meetings between Zambia and Morocco.

Building on the defensive solidity of Mali and the goal-scoring challenges for Comoros, an 'Under 2.5 Goals' bet appears a strong prospect. Both teams will be fighting for a crucial knockout stage spot, which often leads to cautious approaches. Mali's matches have tended towards narrow margins, and a repeat of the high-scoring games is less likely in this high-stakes group stage match. A tight, tactical battle is anticipated, with few clear-cut chances.

Both these teams have had some problems with their offense lately. AS Roma scored five goals in the last five matches, while Genoa scored three goals in the previous four games. With those trends, it seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals in the upcoming clash. 

Derby have improved defensively in recent weeks. Under 2.5 goals have landed in 3 of their last 4 league fixtures.

Benin scored only one goal in the last four matches. In contrast, Senegal conceded only three goals in the previous six games. Also, four of the last five H2H matches between these two teams went under 2.5 goals. With those trends, it seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals in the upcoming clash.

Both of DR Congo’s group fixtures have produced under 2.5 goals. However, despite DR Congo’s impressive winning streak in 2025, the Leopards are not considered an attacking superpower - under 2.5 goals have landed in seven consecutive matches across all competitions.

Both teams have problems with offense lately. Nottingham Forest scored one goal in the last two matches, while Everton didn't score in their previous three games. Also, four of the last five H2H matches between these two teams went under 2.5 goals.

Burnley is fighting a relegation battle and is expected to prioritise defensive solidity at Turf Moor, while Newcastle's away games have generally seen fewer goals (seven scored in nine away games this season before the last match). A tight, competitive match with a narrow margin of victory for Newcastle, such as a 0-1 or 0-2 result, is considered highly likely by analytical models.

Brighton have been involved in some low scoring games recently. Under 2.5 goals have landed in three of their last four encounters.
