Over 1.5

With a predicted 2-1 scoreline, at least two goals are highly probable. Both teams have the offensive capabilities to contribute to this total.

Total Goals (O/U 3.5)

Under 3.5

While we expect goals, a high-scoring blowout is less likely given the competitive nature of World Cup group stage matches. A 2-1 or 1-2 score keeps it under 3.5 goals.

1st Half Goals (O/U 0.5)

Over 0.5

It's common for international matches to see at least one goal in the first half as teams settle in and try to gain an early advantage. Both teams have the offensive quality to achieve this.

Austria's attacking quality and disciplined approach make them slightly more likely to break the deadlock first, though Algeria's counter-attacking threat means it's not a certainty.

While both teams are expected to score overall, a more cautious start to the match is anticipated, making it less likely for both teams to score in the first 45 minutes.

xG Based (O/U 2.5)
