Under 2.5 Goals Predictions

A low-scoring encounter seems likely in Wednesday's decisive Group E fixture. Sudan have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 13 of their last 16 international fixtures.

None of the last three meetings between these sides produced more than two goals. Algeria’s recent wins have been controlled and low-scoring, while Equatorial Guinea struggle to create clear chances against organised defences.

ZED went under 2.5 goals in the last three games and in 13 out of 17 games this season - 77%. On the other hand, Haras El Hodood really struggled scoring goals lately, and we don't expect a great offensive performance. Also, all four h2h games ended with fewer than three goals.

The Ivorians might control possession, but without being overly expansive early on. A narrow victory for the favoured side, such as a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline, aligns with the tactical nature of late group stage matches where caution often supersedes all-out attack. Otherwise, there was only one goal scored in their two WC 2026 qualifying matches earlier this year.

Mozambique went under 2.5 goals in one out of two AFCON games, while Cameroon went under the mentioned line in both games. Moreover, we saw fewer than three goals in six consecutive games across the competitions. We believe Cameroon will control the game, which could result in a low-scoring match. 

Hull went under 2.5 goals in the previous two home games. Stoke struggled offensively, scoring only four goals in the past seven games - 0.57 per game. So, we do not expect a great offensive performance on the road against in-form Hull.

Swansea’s improving defensive structure, particularly in home matches, could see this game produce under 2.5 goals in total. Their last two league matches against Coventry and Oxford United did not exceed the 2.5-goal mark.

Crystal Palace have problems with the attack lately. They scored only four goals in the last five matches. In contrast, Fulham conceded four goals in the previous four games. With those trends, it seems unlikely that we will see more than two goals on Thursday at Selhurst Park.

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.
