This game may not be decided in the first half, as Wanderers concede the most goals (21% of all conceded) during the 61-75 minute period, while Central Español score the most (26% of all goals) in the same period — this is when this pair is most likely to open up and exchange goals. Wanderers' recent form over 5 matches shows alternating wins and losses with big margins (2-0, 1-5, 1-0, 1-1, 1-5), reflecting a defense that has conceded as many as 6 goals in 3 league matches this season. Meanwhile, Central Español have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, but each loss was by a single goal (0-1, 1-2, 0-1), so their defense hasn't collapsed. The control metric (60) suggests the home side should have more possession, but with Wanderers' leaky defense and Central Español's tendency to score late, the system's angle sees this game ending closely, and the fact that Wanderers have won by more than 1 goal in only 2 of their last 5 matches (2-0, 1-0) makes backing Central Español look weighty. The data may not be enough to call it decisively, but what's certain is that the home side is not a team that wins easily by a large margin.
