Goals Over/Under (Ordinary time) : Under 61.5 Goals
The total of 61.5 points seems high for this match. Hungary, the favorite, could control the pace. Italy, struggling (60% losses), may have difficulty scoring. First-half statistics (Italy: 50% Over HT1, Hungary: 70% Over HT1) suggest a potentially tight start. The odds of 1.71 for the Under offer good value for a match where the favorite could win without running up the score.
