How it turned out
We projected about 2.5 goals; the game finished with 0. We made Over 1.5 goals 70%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.0 goals from Santos and 1.4 from Palmeiras, so Palmeiras come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Palmeiras come into this on five straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This does not need a goal rush: we make it around 2.5 goals (xG 1.1-1.5), and two is enough to land it, landing about 72% of the time on these numbers.
We put the chance of that landing at about 70 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.27, which works out at about 79 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
