Under 2.5 Goals Predictions

This matchup averages just 1.45 goals per game, and neither side tends to play openly when the stakes rise. A cautious Copa tie suits a low-scoring script.

Egypt and Nigeria rarely give each other any breathing room, and history backs that up. Only two of their last nine head-to-head clashes have produced three or more goals, a clear sign of how tight and tactical these heavyweight meetings usually are. With space limited and margins razor-thin, goals should come at a premium — Under 2.5 goals looks neatly packaged and well supported by the trend.

Sion compensate for their lack of attacking flair with organised defensive blocks and a pragmatic approach. Under 2.5 goals have landed in three successive league matches involving Sion.

Truro are terrible offensively. They scored only three goals in the last seven matches. In contrast, Wealdstone conceded eight goals in the previous nine games. With those trends, it seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals in the upcoming clash. 

Both teams are very good defensively. Sporting Gijon didn't concede any goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Valencia allowed five goals in the previous five games. With both teams playing well in defense, it is unlikely we will see more than two goals on Tuesday in Gijon. 

Cup ties can be cagey affairs and rather unpredictable. Under 2.5 goals have landed in all three League Cup matches involving Fulham.
