 - Under 2.5 Goals (54.40): Both teams are known for their tactical discipline and defensive setups. The likelihood of a low-scoring match is high, making this an attractive bet for those favoring fewer goals.
 - Over 1.5 Goals (57.30): Despite the defensive trends, the attacking prowess of Bosnia-Herzegovina could break through Malta’s defense at least once, making it probable for the match to see more than one goal.
