Over 1.5 Goals
The odds of 67.50 suggest that while there might be goals, the overall expectation is a modest scoring affair. Colombia’s offensive capabilities could lead to at least one goal, but New Zealand’s defense may keep it from being an open game.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half
Odds of 71.60 reflect Colombia’s potential to make an early impact. Their attacking players are likely to exploit any gaps in New Zealand’s defense, aiming for an early lead.
Both Teams Not to Score
At odds of 65.90, this outcome seems less likely given Colombia’s attacking style. However, if New Zealand successfully neutralizes their opponents’ threats, it could lead to a goalless first half.
Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half
With odds at 62.20, this bet hinges on New Zealand maintaining their defensive discipline throughout the match. If they can withstand Colombia’s second-half pressure, they might keep the scoreline tight.
Over 2.5 Goals
The odds of 55.60 indicate skepticism about a high-scoring game. While Colombia is likely to score, New Zealand’s defensive setup may limit the overall goal tally.
