Predictions Analysis

The high probability for both teams not to score in the first half (84.60) suggests a cautious start, likely due to both teams assessing each other’s tactics early on. The prediction for over 0.5 goals at halftime (67.40) indicates an expected increase in activity as the match progresses into the second half.

The likelihood of over 1.5 goals (69.20) and over 2.5 goals (52.80) reflects the potential for an open game with multiple scoring opportunities, especially given the attacking capabilities of St. Louis City SC and Chicago Fire’s occasional lapses in defense.

The average total goals of 2.54 aligns with these predictions, suggesting a dynamic encounter with chances for both teams to find the net.

Cards are expected to be limited (under 5.5 at 68.60), indicating disciplined play, while the low red card probability (0.18) suggests minimal risk of severe fouls or misconduct.

The prediction for a goal in the last 15 minutes (53.80) highlights the potential for late-game drama, possibly influenced by strategic substitutions or fatigue affecting defensive concentration.

In summary, this match promises to be competitive with opportunities for both teams to capitalize on scoring chances, especially as the game unfolds beyond halftime.
