Hornchurch v Forest Green: how it went

How it turned out

We projected about 3.3 goals; the game finished with 1. We made Both teams to score 62%. It lost.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.9 goals from Hornchurch and 1.5 from Forest Green, so Hornchurch come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Hornchurch come into this on two straight wins. Forest Green come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.8-1.5), and we make both teams to score about 64%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 62 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.53, which works out at about 65 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
