How it turned out
We projected about 3.6 goals; the game finished with 2. We made Morocco to win 89%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 3.0 goals from Morocco and 0.5 from Gabon, so Morocco come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.6 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Morocco to win. Morocco are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 3.0-0.5), and we make them about 91% 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 89 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.16, which works out at about 86 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
