How it turned out
We projected about 2.8 goals; the game finished with 5. Both teams scored. We made Shamrock Rovers to score 2 or fewer 67%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.8 goals from Shamrock Rovers and 1.0 from Waterford, so Shamrock Rovers come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Waterford come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Shamrock Rovers to score 2 or fewer. This is about Shamrock Rovers's goals alone, not the game's total. We make them around 1.9 on the day, and the bet wants them to 2 or fewer, which we make about 67%.
We put the chance of that landing at about 67 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.46, which works out at about 68 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
