How it turned out
We projected about 2.6 goals and the game finished with 2. Both teams scored. We made Over 2.5 goals 49%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 1.3 goals from Newport County and 1.4 from Fleetwood Town, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.6 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Newport County 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: Over 2.5 goals. This does not need a goal rush: we make it around 2.7 goals (xG 1.3-1.4), and three is enough to land it, landing about 51% of the time on these numbers.
We put the chance of that landing at about 49 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.86, which works out at about 54 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
