Under 2.5 Goals Predictions

Historical head-to-head matches between these two teams have typically been low-scoring affairs; of their last four encounters, each of them saw a maximum of two goals. Given Al Akhdoud's difficulty scoring away and a likely defensive approach, a match with fewer than three goals is a reasonable expectation. 

Both teams have problems with offense lately. Eibar scored three goals in the last three matches, while Mirandes scored three goals in the previous five games. Also, the last three encounters between these two teams ended 1-0. With those trends, it is unlikely that we will see more than two goals on Friday in Eibar.

The defensive setups of both coaches are robust, designed to limit space and scoring opportunities. Most recent derbies between these two sides have been cagey, low-scoring affairs. A final scoreline of 1-1 is a strong possibility, fitting the Under 2.5 Goals prediction perfectly. Four of the last five draws between these rivals have ended goalless.

A significant hot streak for Celta Vigo is that just one of their nine home league games this term has produced over 2.5 goals. With key attacking players on both sides missing through injury and both teams potentially prioritising not conceding, the game is set for a battle primarily in the midfield, making the Under 2.5 Goals market an attractive proposition.

Burnley do not possess the worst attacking record in the league, but they are not exactly scoring goals for fun. Under 2.5 goals has landed in two of their last three league fixtures, while Brighton have also struggled in the attacking end of the pitch - their last two league fixtures did not exceed the 2.5 goals line.

This game has all the hallmarks of a low-scoring, cautious knockout tie. The defensive resilience shown by both teams in the group stages and in recent head-to-head clashes points towards a match with few goals. Only one of the seven previous meetings between these nations has seen more than three goals.

Mali went under 2.5 goals in all three games at AFCON, while Tunisia went under 2.5 goals in one out of three games. So, combined, they were under the mentioned line in 67% games. Additionally, the last six h2h games ended with fewer than three goals.

Roma boast the best defensive record in Serie A, meaning their matches usually produce fewer goals on either end. Under 2.5 goals has been the final outcome in three of their last five league fixtures.

While Atletico's recent matches have seen a higher number of goals, their away games historically, and the tight nature of this specific rivalry, suggest caution. Real Sociedad's home games this season have generally been lower-scoring. The high stakes of the match, combined with the two teams' historical tendency for closely fought contests and Real Sociedad's attacking limitations, make the Under 2.5 Goals prediction well-supported.
