The teaser footage could just be from the OP. It might not even be from any actual episode in the show itself.

As far as pacing goes, there are several options open to them. If it does got a 50 episodes, the stopping might not even be obvious to anyone yet. There are 146 chapters out now, which should be close to the end of what would be Vol15 whenever that volume is published. If the anime moves at a relatively fast pace, they could wrap up Balbadd at around the mid-point (ep24-26), and the end of the series would be anywhere from vol16 to vol19 depending on how fast they go. Since no one knows what happens in those chapters, there could be another natural stopping point planned in the near future.

Alternatively, the series could be 2-cour for now, and simply end after Balbadd. If ratings and sales are good, or if the anime has a strong impact on the manga sales, they could return for another season later on.
