Bettors favoring a high-scoring affair might find this prediction appealing.

Under 1.5 Goals in 1P: 52.10%

The first period often sets the tone for the rest of the game, and in this matchup, there is a nearly even chance that fewer than 1.5 goals will be scored in the opening period.

Under 5.5 Goals: 54.50%
