How it turned out

We projected about 2.7 goals; the game finished with 0. We made Gillingham or Draw 74%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.6 goals from Gillingham and 1.2 from Newport County, so Gillingham come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Gillingham come into this on two straight defeats. Newport County 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: Gillingham or Draw. This covers Gillingham 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 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.29, which works out at about 78 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
