The first leg between the two sides produced a lopsided 4-1 scoreline, with five goals in total, showing that neither team was overly conservative. Slovacko scored four goals away from home, displaying impressive attacking firepower, while Lisen also managed an away goal, proving they are not without a response.
Another factor is the recent scoring trend of both teams. Although Slovacko’s overall results have not been ideal, their over rate has reached as high as 70% in their last 10 matches, with open games and no shortage of goals. Lisen have scored 11 goals in their last six matches, averaging nearly two per game, and they possess a certain threat in attack. Trailing by a wide margin after the first leg, Lisen must go all out offensively in the second leg to try to overturn the deficit, which will further raise the tempo of the match and the number of goals.
In terms of the handicap, mainstream bookmakers initially set the total at 2.5/3 goals, and some have since moved the live line up to 3 goals. The over price has remained in the 0.78-1.03 range, indicating growing confidence from the market that the over will land. Combined with the high-scoring first leg and the away side’s need to attack in the second leg, this match is expected to turn into an attacking battle on both sides.
