What to expect

We expect about 1.7 goals from Boston Utd and 1.6 from Scunthorpe, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Boston Utd come into this on two straight defeats. Scunthorpe come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Boston Utd or Draw. This covers Boston Utd or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 64 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.40, which works out at about 71 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

✓Boston Utd have won one of their last five.
✓Scunthorpe have won one of their last five.

Carlisle are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.5-1.4), and we make them about 63% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
