Several factors typically shift odds in this market before kickoff: team news such as injuries to key strikers or defensive players, recent form and goal-scoring trends, head-to-head history, weather conditions on match day, and lineup announcements. Unexpected roster changes or managerial statements can trigger sharp moves.

Traders continuously incorporate new data, so odds may fluctuate substantially in the final hours before the match begins.
