This type of bet depends more on the rhythm of the game and the teams’ playing styles rather than pure stats. When Monaco and Lille face each other, the match usually starts at a high tempo with early attacking intentions. Monaco often looks to apply pressure from the first minutes, while Lille relies on solid organization and sharp counterattacks.
In the second half, as the game opens up and spaces appear, the chances of scoring increase even further. That’s why the option goal in both halves makes sense here — both sides have the tools to find the net early on and again later in the match
