How it turned out
We projected about 2.5 goals; the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Over 1.5 goals 71%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.3 goals from Preston and 1.3 from Bristol City, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Preston come into this on four straight defeats. 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 2.6 goals (xG 1.3-1.3), and two is enough to land it, landing about 73% of the time on these numbers.
We put the chance of that landing at about 71 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.31, which works out at about 76 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
