How it turned out
We projected about 2.9 goals and the game finished with 2. We made Cruz Azul to win 66%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.0 goals from Cruz Azul and 0.9 from Atlas, so Cruz Azul come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Cruz Azul 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: Cruz Azul to win. Cruz Azul are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.0-0.8), and we make them about 68% 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 66 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.62, which works out at about 62 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.
