How it turned out
We projected about 2.5 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Coquimbo Unido to win 62%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
The match looks to be one-sided. The numbers show Coquimbo Unido averaging almost two goals a game while Universidad de Concepción are under one. That gap makes Coquimbo the clear favourite. With a total of about 2.6 goals expected, the game should have a few chances but it is not likely to be a defensive slog.
We have no recent results or head-to-head data to add, so we simply go by the goal expectations. The pattern in the numbers tells us Coquimbo are scoring far more than their opponents and that should keep them ahead.
Our pick is Coquimbo Unido to win. We think they have about a 62-64% chance of coming out on top. The price of 1.57 matches our view of the game, so it looks like a sensible choice. It is a clean bet on the stronger side rather than looking for a higher price elsewhere.
For the pick to fail, Universidad de Concepción would need to keep a very tight defence and score first, then hold on. That would be a surprise given the goal expectations. We feel fairly confident in our view, but we know football can always produce an upset.
