How it turned out

We projected about 2.7 goals; the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Over 1.5 goals 72%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.6 goals from Lincoln and 1.1 from Portsmouth, so Lincoln come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 2.7 goals between the two (xG 1.6-1.1), landing about 75% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.

We put the chance of that landing at about 72 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

What the numbers say
✓Lincoln have won three of their last five.
✓Portsmouth have won two of their last five.
✓Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in two of the last five meetings.
