REF’s picks

Under 1.5 goals in the first half reflects the cautious tactical setups both sides often employ during the initial stages.

1. 1Neom's recent outings show a pattern of scoreless opening halves against disciplined sides.
2. 2Early caution from Al-Ittihad could prevent a flurry of goals before the break.
