Historical data reveals that the two teams have played to a 1-1 draw in both of their previous two encounters, indicating a closely matched level of performance. Aluminium Arak will have the advantage of playing at home for this match. The initial data assessment gives them a 0.25-goal advantage, which aligns with their current league positions. This advantage has remained unchanged in the updated data. It's worth noting that Aluminium Arak holds a relatively higher position in the related data configurations. The total goals line has been set at 1.5, and this has remained consistent. The configuration for over this line is positioned relatively low, suggesting the market anticipates a game with a higher number of goals. Despite Aluminium Arak's home advantage, the support they receive from the data is limited, and their configuration is relatively high, which suggests some reservation in the market about their ability to secure a win. Malavan has demonstrated consistent performance and possesses a certain ability to compete away from home. Considering their previous draws and the implications from the goals data, this match could be tightly contested, but the potential for goals might be higher than expected. There's a possibility that the away team could take away points. Prediction: Malavan +0.25
