How it turned out

We projected about 2.3 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Over 1.5 goals 72%. It lost.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.4 goals from Sunderland and 1.0 from Hull, so Sunderland 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 75% of the time on these numbers.

We put the chance of that landing at about 72 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.32, 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.

What the numbers say
✓Sunderland have won three of their last five.
✓Hull have won three of their last five.
✓Four of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in one of the last five meetings.
