Bolton v West Ham: how it went

How it turned out

We projected about 2.9 goals; the game finished with 5. Both teams scored. We made Both teams to score 61%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.4 goals from Bolton and 1.5 from West Ham, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Bolton come into this on three straight defeats. West Ham come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.4-1.5), and we make both teams to score about 61%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.65, which works out at about 61 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
