What to expect
We expect about 1.1 goals from Gas Alshimal and 1.0 from AL Julan, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.1 goals in the game, so we are braced for a tight one where good chances are rare.
Our pick: Gas Alshimal to win. Gas Alshimal are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.1-1.0), and we make them about 37% 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 35 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.50, which works out at about 40 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
One thing to watch
AL Julan only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty. The price is shorter than our own read of about 37%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
