How it turned out
We projected about 2.5 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Over 1.5 goals 70%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.3 goals from Yokohama F. Marinos and 1.3 from Vissel Kobe, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 2.3 goals between the two (xG 1.2-1.2), landing about 72% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 70 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.34, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
