How Many Goals Will Be Scored in the Match Fortuna Düsseldorf vs Bochum

In the last five matches, Fortuna Düsseldorf played over 2.5 goals three times and under twice. Bochum, on the other hand, had all five matches under 2.5 goals. Fortuna's average goals per match is 2.2, while Bochum's is 1.6. Both teams score an average of 1 goal per game, but Fortuna concedes 1.2 and Bochum only 0.6. In terms of halves, Fortuna had over 1.5 goals in the first half only once in five matches, and twice in the second half. For Bochum, both halves were low-scoring: only one first-half over 1.5 and none in the second. As for goal intervals: Fortuna most often scored between 46-60 minutes (38%), while Bochum scored between 31-45 minutes (40%). Regarding goals conceded: Fortuna frequently conceded in the first 15 minutes (50%), while Bochum spread their conceded goals across three intervals - 16-30, 31-45, and 46-60 minutes (33% each). Considering Bochum consistently plays low-scoring games and rarely concedes, and both teams' average goals do not exceed 2.2, betting on under 2.5 goals at 1.97 seems logical.

Analysis of Corner Totals

The average number of corners for Fortuna Düsseldorf over five matches is 5, and for Bochum - 3.4. In this five-match series, Fortuna only exceeded a total of 9.5 corners once, and Bochum twice. If considering the total corners, the closest line to the sum of the averages (8.4) is 8.5. The odds for over 8.5 corners are 1.38, and under 8.5 - 2.80. For corner outcomes, Fortuna Düsseldorf is favored with odds of 1.95. Given the moderate corner activity of both teams, a bet on over 8.5 corners seems justified, but the probability of a high number of corners isn't very high, considering the recent match frequencies.
