How it turned out
We projected about 2.5 goals; the game finished with 4. Both teams scored. We made Derry City or Draw 81%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 0.9 goals from Sligo Rovers and 1.6 from Derry City, so Derry City come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Derry City come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Derry City or Draw. This covers Derry City 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 81 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.15, which works out at about 87 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
