How it turned out
We projected about 2.7 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made Sport Recife to win 64%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.9 goals from Sport Recife and 0.8 from Londrina EC, so Sport Recife come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Sport Recife to win. Sport Recife are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-0.8), and we make them about 64% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 64 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.65, which works out at about 61 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
One thing to watch
A red card, a penalty or a smash-and-grab is all it takes for Londrina EC to spoil this. We make it about 64%: a lean, not a lock.
