How it turned out
We projected about 3.1 goals and the game finished with 3. We made Anderlecht to win 69%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
The game looks fairly open. The numbers show Anderlecht averaging about 2.3 goals while Kairat Almaty are around 0.9. That gap makes Anderlecht the stronger side, but with a total of just over three goals expected, chances should appear at both ends of the pitch.
Looking back, Anderlecht have been mixed in their last five league outings, winning two, drawing one and losing two. Kairat Almaty have struggled more, with only one win and four defeats in the same span. The recent form hints that Anderlecht have a better chance of taking the points, especially at home.
We pick Anderlecht to win. The price of 1.47 matches our view of the match and feels right. With a 70 % chance of success in our eyes, backing the home side is the cleaner play compared with looking for a higher price elsewhere.
For the pick to go wrong, Kairat Almaty would need to pull off a rare win or a draw, which would require a big shift in their recent poor run. That would be a surprise given their four losses in the last five games. Our view is fairly strong, but we acknowledge the small chance that the underdog could upset the expectation.
