How it turned out
We projected about 3.1 goals and the game finished with 3. We made Huddersfield to win 64%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.0 goals from Huddersfield and 1.0 from AFC Wimbledon, so Huddersfield come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Huddersfield to win. Huddersfield are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.0-1.0), and we make them about 64% 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 64 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.66, which works out at about 60 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
One thing to watch
Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn AFC Wimbledon a draw or better. We make it about 64%: a lean, not a lock.
