How it turned out

We projected about 3.3 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made APOEL Nicosia to win 74%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 2.4 goals from APOEL Nicosia and 0.9 from Nea Salamis, so APOEL Nicosia come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: APOEL Nicosia to win. APOEL Nicosia are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.4-0.9), and we make them about 76% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.44, which works out at about 69 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
✓APOEL Nicosia have won one of their last five.
✓Nea Salamis have won one of their last five.
✓Three of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in two of the last five meetings.
