Verdict
BT4Y analyst view
Under 2.5 Goals is a sound pick given Albania's defensive discipline and San Marino's lack of offensive threat. Albania's ability to limit shots and maintain clean sheets, combined with San Marino's poor scoring record, suggests a low-scoring game. Tactical control and recent form data align well with this cautious approach to goal totals.
A slower tempo or weaker chance quality would make the goals market harder to justify at the current price.
