Morocco, over the same period, scored 1.4, conceded 0.2, with an average total of 1.6 goals. For over 2.5 goals: Senegal 2 out of 5, Morocco only 1 out of 5. For under 2.5 goals: Senegal 3 out of 5, Morocco 4 out of 5. In the first half, over 1.5 goals occurred 1 time out of 5 for both teams, in the second half, Senegal 2 out of 5, Morocco none.

For goal intervals: Senegal most frequently scores in the 76-90 minute range (40%), Morocco in the 31-45 and 61-75 minute ranges (50% each). For goals conceded: Senegal is most vulnerable from 61 to 75 minutes (33%), Morocco from 16 to 30 and 61 to 75 minutes (33% each). Overall, the statistics for both teams on totals and halves lean towards a low-scoring game, where the likelihood of both teams scoring is low. The option both teams to score: no is at 1.63 and seems logical, given the low goals conceded and over totals.

Corners: Numbers and Possible Bets

Senegal averages 5.8 corners per match, Morocco 5.4. For over 9.5 corners: Senegal 2 out of 5, Morocco 1 out of 5. The line offers a total corners of 8.5: over 8.5 is at 1.77, under 8.5 is at 1.83. The total closest to the average sum of corners is 8.5, as both teams average slightly over 5 corners. Based on this data, a bet on total corners closer to 8.5 seems justified, rather than higher values. On individual corner totals, Senegal often exceeds 4.5 (average 5.8), Morocco also consistently maintains above 5. The option for total corners over 8.5 can be considered as viable, but without a clear bias.
