How it turned out

We projected about 2.3 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Over 1.5 goals 70%. It lost.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.4 goals from West Brom and 0.9 from Watford, so West Brom come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This does not need a goal rush: we make it around 2.4 goals (xG 1.4-1.0), 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 1.30, which works out at about 77 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓West Brom have won two of their last five.
✓Watford have won one of their last five.
✓Five of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in four of the last five meetings.
