How it turned out
We projected about 2.7 goals and the game finished with 3. We made Leicester to win 55%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.7 goals from Leicester and 1.0 from Wigan, so Leicester come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Wigan come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Leicester to win. Leicester are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.7-1.0), and we make them about 56% 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 55 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.39, which works out at about 72 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
