Match Total: Over 2.5 goals missed ✗ · Confidence 72%
👀 Alternative: 1st half under 1.5 · 59% ✓ (not in the main record)
Anderlecht's defense is shaky (0:4, 1:2) but they can score heavily at home (4:1, 3:0 recently). Salzburg remains consistently productive on both ends (2.1 scored/1.2 conceded), supporting an expected total near 3.2. The risk is a cautious European night if Anderlecht sits back like they did against Dinamo Zagreb (0:1). Overall, both teams' attacking tendencies back the Over 2.5 pick.
